My son is burnt, I am fuming, is the school in the wrong?

[bigmouthstrikesagain]

Ds is 4 and in reception today was his sport day. We weren't permitted to watch due to numbers.

He had suncream applied this am (factor 50), but we have been asked not to sendccream into school.

He has come home today with severe sunburn large angry red raised patches all the way up his legs and forearms.

His hat was lost so he prob wasn't wearing that either.

I am very with the school especially as if we had been there I could have applied more suncream!

Am I overeacting?

Our LEA does not allow any staff member to apply any cream or administer any medication, even with a parent's permission. Parents have to come in to school to give medication and suncream can be sent in with the child. They have to leave it in the office where they will be supervised as they apply it themselves. Siblings have to have their own, labelled sun cream.
