Medical Needs

Your child’s health, safety and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with families and a wide range of healthcare professionals to ensure every child receives the support they need.

Our Approach

At Warmley Park, relational schooling is far more than a behaviour policy. It is a values-led framework describing how an understanding of our relationships — between staff, pupils, families, and community — enriches both academic and social learning. Every member of staff works to create an environment where children feel safe, listened to, and genuinely valued.

If leaving a message, please clearly state your child's name, class, and reason for absence.

If your child becomes unwell during the school day

  1. A member of the healthcare team will assess them.

  2. We will contact you if your child needs to go home or seek further medical advice.

Please ensure the school always has at least two emergency contact numbers so we can reach you quickly if needed. At Warmley Park School, we follow guidance provided by the NHS website for illness and health conditions.

We will always inform you

We will always inform parents and carers if their child has an accident during the school day.

Minor accidents

For small bumps, grazes or minor injuries:

  • First aid will be given in school
  • An accident report will be sent home with your child

More serious accidents

If your child requires urgent medical attention:

  • Parents/carers will be contacted immediately
  • You may be asked to collect your child for a GP or hospital check-up

In the event of a serious emergency requiring Accident & Emergency treatment, a member of staff will stay with your child until parents/carers arrive, if needed.

Keep your contact details up to date

Please make sure the school always has up-to-date contact information for parents/carers and emergency contacts if parents/carers cannot be reached. Keeping your contact information current helps us support your child quickly and safely when needed.
