Nelson Academy Prospectus

25 Health and medicines Please let us know about any medical conditions your child may have and remember to inform us of any changes. Children suffering from asthma can keep inhalers close at hand. Please name the inhaler, and make sure we have some details about the circumstances when your child may need to use it. We are able to administer prescribedmedicines providing that the child concerned is otherwise fit enough to be at the academy. These can only be administered if a consent form has been signed. Please ensure: • The container is clearly labeled with your child’s name and the time and size of dose • Medicine and form are left with the office Car parking During the day the car park is for academy staff who are working and official visitors only. Car parking is only permittedwithin the academy grounds if a disabled car parking permit has been obtained. Access to the academy grounds will be closed to all vehicles, except for taxis and minibuses. Parents wishing to park must do so on the roads bordering the academy giving consideration to all neighbouring residents. If you are on foot, please wait for your child inside the academy gate. If parents wish for their child to walk home on their own please confirm this to us in writing. Absence notes When your child has been away from the academy you need to let us have a short note explaining the absence. Alternatively, you can telephone the academy on the first day of absence so that a message is given to your child’s class teacher. If you know your child is going to be absent, for a dental appointment for example, please let the class teachers know in advance. Parents should note that Nelson Academy, in line with all academies in Eastern Multi-Academy Trust, will not authorise absence for holiday in term time. Nelson 2017.indd 25 10/05/2017 08:47
