Pupil Medical Information (Senior)

Lingfield College is an inclusive community that aims to support and welcome students with medical conditions. The School understands its responsibility to make its environment welcoming, inclusive and supportive to all students with medical conditions and provide them with the same opportunities as their peers.

On entry to the school, it is the parents’ responsibility to inform the Medical Administrator of any medical conditions and needs. Please also ensure that the school are informed of any changes during the school year.

Please complete the following two medical forms, even if your child does not suffer from any medical issues or allergies.

Individual Healthcare Plan (below)
Food Allergy and Intolerance Form (separate form, even if your child does not suffer from any medical conditions)

There are several points regarding medication which is worth detailing:

EpiPens and Allergies - All allegry documentation, including Allergy Action Plans, must be completed by a suitably qualified healthcare professional. Parents are asked to obtain an up-to-date copy of their child's Allergy Action Plan in advance of their child starting school.

In preparation for the new mandatory allergy-safety requirements coming into force under Benedict's Law (also known as the School Allergy Safety Bill) from September 2026, which will strengthen school allergy procedures, staff training and access to emergency medication, we are ensuring all clinical documentation is in place before term begins.

The Department for Education recommend that a minimum of one, ideally two, spare Adrenaline Auto Injectors (AAIs) (or Neffy Nasal Sprays) in their original packaging with the pharmacy label attached should be provided to the Medical Office at the start of term.

Students are also required to carry two of their own AAIs (or Neffy Nasal Sprays) clearly labelled with them at all times, including during sports fixtures and school trips. Any student who does not have their AAIs (or Neffy Nasal Sprays) with them will not be permitted to attend the fixture or trip. Parents can also give permission for spare generic Adrenaline Auto-Injector (AAI) to be used by their child in an emergency. To do this, the Allergy Action Plan completed by the relevant healthcare professional should include both the medical authorisation and written parental consent confirming that a spare AAI may be administered if required.

Asthma: We require a School Asthma Card, ideally signed by a healthcare professional (for example their GP or Asthma Nurse) to be completed for every asthmatic child. If your child has severe asthma (eg takes oral steroid tablets or has previously been hospitalised for asthma) we will require an Asthma Action Plan that has been written and signed by a healthcare professional. Parents can also give permission for a spare generic Ventolin Inhaler to be used by their child in an emergency. To do this they must tick and sign the relevant box on the School Asthma Card which will be sent to parents by the Medical Administrator.

We will also require a Medical Consent Form to be completed, which will be sent to parents by the Medical Administrator. A spare inhaler should be provided at the start of term to the Medical Office.

Students are required to always carry their inhaler with them, including at sports fixtures and school trips. Students who do not have their inhaler with them will not be permitted to attend the fixture or trip.

Medication: Any prescribed medication brought into the school must be in the original packaging with the pharmacy label attached showing your child's name and the dosage. Any over the counter medications should be in the original packaging and clearly labelled with your child's name. A Medical Consent Form must be completed prior to any medication being given. This can be found via Firefly Medical Forms which you will have access to once your child joins the school.

Prescribed medication should only be brought into school when essential, namely when it is detrimental to be without. Only oral medication can be administered at school.

It is the parents' responsibility to make a note of any expiry dates on medication and renew them accordingly.

Apart from Adrenaline Auto Injectors, Ashtma inhalers or diabetic medication, students are not allowed to carry medication on them, it is to be given to the Medical Office at the start of the day. The school does hold a supply of paracetamol which parents are requested to give consent to on the form below.

Contagious Conditions: Please do not send your child into school with particularly contagious conditions. The school may ask parents to arrange for confirmation from a GP if there is any likelihood of a condition being infectious.

Following any episode of diarrhoea and/or vomiting which is caused by a virus, students are not expected to return to school until they have been symptom-free for 48 hours.

It is always our aim to work with you, and we greatly appreciate your cooperation in this important area. Please refer to the Senior School Medical Condition Policy on our website for further details.

Yours sincerely
