🧡 A Positive Step for Student Safety

We are delighted to share that our school now has an Anaphylaxis Kitt® on site.

Severe allergic reactions can happen suddenly, and not everyone who experiences anaphylaxis has a known allergy. This new kit provides emergency adrenaline auto-injectors that can be used for pupils, staff, or visitors experiencing a suspected anaphylactic reaction.

The kit, alongside staff awareness training, strengthens our commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone in our school community.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to keep our school a safe place for all. 🏫🧡
