Health & Safety

The health and safety of our students is paramount and parents are asked to complete a new student Information sheet at the start of each year to ensure we have the correct contact details. Where details change during the year we ask parents to please advise us immediately.   An annual permission slip is issued at the start of the new academic year, asking parents to confirm contact details and give their permission for their child to be included in out of school trips and visits.

Parents are also asked to complete a Consent Form on their child’s entry to Parayhouse.  This form seeks parental consent for the following:

  • attending collective worship sessions, Religious Education lessons and Sex Education lessons
  • using their child’s photograph on school display boards, in printed publications produced  by the School, to provide evidence for coursework for external moderation and for staff training
  • administering pain relief if unwell at school [this will be syrup or tablet paracetamol]
  • for their  child to be taken to hospital for treatment if the staff responsible feel this is necessary

“The school’s multidisciplinary approach to supporting its pupils’ development is a strength of its provision. Speech and language therapists and the occupational therapist make a

significant contribution to pupils’ academic progress and personal well-being. Their

work is supplemented extremely well by the school’s excellent links with parents and

carers, and the good partnerships that have been forged with other organisations.” Ofsted 2011
