Medical and Welfare
At Oakthorpe the Health and Welfare of our pupils is paramount. We pride ourselves on the caring, nurturing and sensitive support provided in school.
When a child joins the school, parents/carers are asked to declare any medical conditions, including asthma, that require care within school.
One of our Welfare Officers will arrange a meeting and complete a Health Care Plan (HCP). Health Care Plans are updated at least once a year or following a change to a medical condition. Please keep us up to date with any changes to your child's health.
Food allergies should also be registered with our school meal provider.
Our Welfare Officers are:
Mrs Jane Hamza (Mon, Tues, Weds)
Mrs Cheryl Blowes (Thurs,Fri)

Medication should be provided in the original packaging giving clear administering instructions.
A consent form can be obtained from the office or from the documents below:
