Medicine Policy at Ashford Oaks

 

Please find a summary of our medicine policy below.  For more information, our medicine policy document is available in the “Important Documents” section of our website here.

​

Prescribed Medicines

Antibiotics that need to be given three times a day should be managed at home.  We will however administer antibiotics that are prescribed four times a day

 

Non-Prescribed Medicines

• Non prescribed medicines will only be given for 2 consecutive school days and parents will need to complete a form to allow staff to do this

• “Over the counter” medication, such as Calpol will only be given at 1.00pm after lunch

• We are unable to administer any eye drops, teething gels, cough syrups etc. without a prescription

• If a child needs any regular non-prescription medicines, then we would ask a parent to come to school to give these to their child
