  • Allergy safety in schools

    Our Commitment to Being an Allergy-Aware School

    At our school, the health, safety and wellbeing of every child is incredibly important to us. We are proud to be an allergy-aware school and want to work closely with parents and carers to ensure that every child feels safe, supported and included.

    We encourage families to share any relevant medical or allergy information with us so that we can understand each child’s individual needs.

    Where appropriate, we will work together to create an Individual Healthcare Plan (IHP), helping us to put the right care and support in place throughout the school day.

    Thank You for Being Allergy Aware 

    Thank you to all our wonderful children, parents, carers and staff for helping us to make our school a safe, caring and allergy-aware community. Every small action, from sharing information to being mindful of allergies, makes a big difference. Together, we can help every child feel safe, included and supported.

    How Can You Share This Information?

    We encourage parents and carers to share any important medical or allergy information with us so that we can provide the best possible care and support for your child.

    You can speak directly with our Allergy Lead, Mellisa Stocks, in the following ways:

    • In person – speak to Miss Stocks at school.

    • By telephone – call us on 01332 291140.

    We are always happy to discuss your child's individual needs and work together with families to ensure the appropriate support is in place.
