Loanends Primary School - Prospectus 2020/21
Drugs Education Policy In accordance with Government requirements, the school has a policy relating to drug education, last updated in September 2019. This element of the curriculum is taught within PDMU as children learn to value and maintain their health. A distinction is made between prescribed drugs and others. For reasons of health and safety, children should not bring any form of medication to school without the agreement of the parents and Principal. Arrangements for the safe-keeping and administering of medicines can usually be made. Parents should note that only essential medicines will be administered by the Appointed Teacher, during school hours. Alternatively, parents are welcome to visit the school and administer medicine to their child if they wish. Please ask for our separate policy document. The Governors and staff will not condone the possession or use of illicit drugs on school premises and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. The Governors will regard the use or misuse of drugs as a very serious offence and may suspend those involved. Staff will continue to be alert to the risks and signs of such drugs.
Healthy Eating Loanends Primary School actively encourages pupils to eat healthily and exercise regularly. We encourage parents to send healthy breaks and lunches with their children. Our aim is to discourage the eating of crisps and confectionery. Our school cook provides a different bread product or fruit each day at the cost of 30p. • Milk andWater • Any Fruit or vegetables – no dried fruit (the consumption of dried fruit can contribute to tooth decay). Tinned fruit is acceptable in natural/its own juice rather than syrup. • Any bread product from the following list: Examples: Sandwich, Wheaten, Soda, Potato Bread, Pitta Bread, TortillaWraps, Bread Muffin, Crumpets. Spread butter or fat spreads thinly. Avoid sugary spread e.g. jam, marmalade, honey or chocolate spread. We would appreciate your support in implementing this policy.
