Health Care Centre

On site, we have a fully staffed Health Care Centre that is open twenty four hours a day during term time. This facility tends to our pupils’ medical needs, such as the administering of medication. It is also able to provide primary care and has a number of beds in order to allow pupils to remain for observation, overnight if necessary. The HCC will triage pupils when they arrive for assessment, administer basic first aid and will determine and coordinate hospital trips where necessary.

In addition, throughout the year, they offer a range of health care services to our pupils which include a full suite of vaccination programmes, eye and hearing tests (both of which are complimented by specialist follow-ups if required), a dental and oral check of our younger pupils and a Body Mass Index assessment. They also have the ability to conduct the Ask-Suicide Questionnaire (ASQ) risk assessment which helps to protect our most vulnerable pupils and they will also undertake medical training for relevant staff on the use of epi-pens, managing seizures and other pertinent issues that may be evident in the School at a given time.
