Prince of Wales Primary School – Enfield
Welfare and Medical Care
We take great pride in providing the highest standard of care for your children while they are with us. All our support staff are trained in either General First Aid or Paediatric First Aid, and our Welfare Lead is always available to offer guidance and support to both staff and parents.
We are committed to providing a safe environment for all pupils and are an allergy aware school. We take all allergies seriously and have clear procedures in place to minimise risks, including careful management of allergenic foods and prompt response plans in the event of allergic reactions. Staff receive regular training to recognise and respond to allergy-related incidents swiftly and effectively, ensuring the health and well-being of all pupils are protected at all times.
For children with medical needs, we create an Individual Health Care Plan, with advice from medical professionals, to ensure their specific requirements are met. Please contact the school office or Welfare Lead if your child requires regular medication or is prescribed a course of treatment.
If your child is injured or becomes unwell during the school day, you will receive a notification – either a yellow bumped-head letter or a green medical information note – detailing the care they received. For any visible or head injuries, we will also make a phone call to keep you fully informed. It is therefore essential that we have up-to-date contact details for emergencies.
All medication is securely stored in the Welfare Room during unstructured times and in the classroom during learning. Every child’s medication is clearly labelled with the pupil’s name, class and any relevant instructions. Any administered doses are carefully recorded to ensure the safety and well-being of your child.
