What to do if your child is unwell: If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please call the school office by 9.15am to report their absence.  If your child is suffering from a sick bug, they should be kept away from school for 48 hours after the last episode.

Prescribed medicines: Prescribed medicines should be taken outside of school hours if at all possible.  If a prescribed medicine needs to be given during the school day (ie. 4 doses per day) then please come to the office and fill in the appropriate consent form.  

Bromley 0-19 Children's Public Health Service: The Bromley 0-19 service is delivered by school nurses and community nursery nurses. To contact the nursing team use the live chat function on the website: https://www.bromley0to19.co.uk/

Within school each year, Reception pupils are measured for height and weight, and undergo vision tests.  Year 6 pupils are also measured for height and weight.  Nasal Flu vaccinations are offered to pupils in Reception to Year 6 between October and December.  

The service is trialling After School Drop-In Clinics in Sidcup, Erith and Thamesmead.  The one in Sidcup is held at the Barnard Clinic in Granville Road.  There is also a drop-in clinic held there on Wednesday afternoons for parental concerns.  

The nursing team have chosen to use social media as a way for parents, children and young people to engage with any nursing advice.  Contained within the Bromley 0 to 19 website are separate sections for 0-4-year-olds, 5-10-year-olds and 11-19-year-olds, as well as a resources section and other health and advice sources.  Additionally, older children are able to confidentially live chat to your School Nurse or fill in their 'ask a question' contact form for further advice and guidance.
