| This page includes information about applying
for a place at St Nicholas School, and about
the procedures and the criteria we apply.
This information is taken from the admissions
policy document published in 2004. Admission
arrangements are reviewed annually in consultation
with the London Diocesan Board for Schools,
the Local Education Authority and other local
schools. For the most up to date information,
check the documents
database or contact the school office.

| Illness |
|
Please do not send
children to school
if they are showing
signs of illness.
First, the school
does not have
the resources
to provide 'care
and nursing' facilities,
which means that
they cannot be
cared for as well
as at home. Second,
many illnesses
are infectious
and other children
may be affected.
Because both of
these are bad
for the children,
if in the school's
opinion a child
is not well enough
to be at school,
the parents or
guardians will
be contacted and
asked to collect
the child.

|
|
| First
aid and accidents |
|
A number of staff
at school have
first aid qualifications.
In the event of
a child having
an accident, first
aid will be administered.
If, in our opinion,
the child needs
to go home or
to hospital for
further treatment,
we will contact
parents or another
named contact
to collect the
child. If parents
are not available,
and the accident
is considered
an emergency,
the school will
call an ambulance,
or a member of
staff will take
the child for
treatment.

|
| Medicines |
| Members
of the administrative
team deal with most
day to day health
matters, but do not
normally administer
medicine to children.
Parents with children
suffering from a long-term
illness or condition
requiring permanent
medication or special
care should discuss
their child's needs
with the headteacher.
Arrangements regarding
medication are detailed
in notes given to
parents when children
start school. |
|
|
|
| Emergency
contact details |
|
We will take emergency
contact details
when a child is
first admitted
to the school.
These will be
used in an emergency.
Please remember
to tell the school
immediately of
any changes to
these details
as and when they
occur
