First Aid

Cromwell Community College has a team of staff who are first aid trained to deal with a wide variety of minor first aid matters that may occur during the school day. Our Medical & First Aid Leads are Mrs H Smith and Mrs J Birchall.

We always do our best to treat minor first aid issues. Where this is not possible we will ask parents/carers to come and collect their child from school. In an emergency we will call for an ambulance, and let parents/carers know as soon as we can. 

Following NHS Guidance, if you have a child in the Primary Phase who has any form of sickness or diarrhoea, we request that they are kept at home for at least 48 hours after the symptoms have cleared. Secondary Phase and Sixth Form pupils can return to school as soon as they feel well enough, as they are able to follow hygiene measures effectively, thereby reducing the risk of cross contamination within the school environment.

We keep careful, confidential records of first aid, and always let parents/carers know when we have administered first aid to a pupil via Medical Tracker.

We ask that parents/carers and pupils liaise with Mrs Smith and Mrs Birchall by emailing medical@cromwell.cambs.sch.uk if you require any information, or if there is something specific we should be aware of.
