what happens if your child is ill at your school?

[popmum]

Say they had a temp and were a bit shakey, what would happen? What would be the procedure? Where would they go? Who would be with them?
Just wondering.....
TIA

they should phone you to come and collect them and takethem home to bed where they should be.

teacher or teaching assistant would take them to first aid room (really a chair in teh school office away from general hubbub) and someone would sit with them unti parent arrived or administer approriate forst aid. If teacher cannot leave classroom for whatever reason, they have an internal phone to ring reception and someone comes to get the children

The same system as BlueDragonfly's school. An adult takes them to the first aid area. The secretary phones the parents and an adult stays with the child until the parents arrive.

Same here.

No child has died yet on school premises, afaik.

so someone stays with them in the same room?

I am only asking because twice now reception children (I know of) have been left on their own in a room down a corridor from the office and i find it a little odd....

they are taken to the head/deputy head who makes the decision as to whether they should be sent home.

The secretary then rings the parents who come and collect them. Afaik they sit outside the office to wait for parent to collect them.

They sit outside the office I think.

They would be sent to the school office and would sit there until the parent arrived to take them home.

At ours the little ones tend to end up sitting on the head's knee while he tries to work round them until their parents come to collect them. The head had to go home himself recently to get changed after ds had a nose-bleed all over his shirt!

In Infants they would be sitting in the office with the secretary (lovely lady!). In Junior's they are down the corridor from the office and the secretary in charge of the medical room looks in on them from time to time- unless there is some special reason they cannot be left alone.
