All medicines (over-the-counter and prescribed) brought to school by day or boarding students should be handed over to the School Nurse for safe keeping. For students age 16 years and over, they are able to self-administer medications as appropriate. A discussion with the school nurses needs to take place and a signed self administration of medication form completed by the student and the nurse. Authorised medicines such as asthma inhalers and auto adrenaline injector pens/nasal devices are to be kept by students for their own use in line with our School Treatments and Medicines Policy.

In line with Department of Health recommendations, we will undertake routine health screening, physical and wellbeing of all new starters. This will be completed on admission and will include height, weight and a basic vision screening by the School Nurse. This is also an opportunity for your child to meet with the school nursing team. Please note the basic vision screening does not replace an eye test by a trained eye health professional and as per NHS recommendations, children and young people should receive an eye test every 2 years. Parents/Guardians can consent for this new student nurse health check on the medical form.

Whenever possible, please arrange dental, medical and optician appointments outside school hours or during school holidays. If a student must attend an unplanned appointment during school time, a staff member will accompany the student to this appointment in a taxi. The cost of the taxi journey will be charged to your child’s school bill. If the student is 16 years of age or over and it is appropriate to do so, and the student is happy to they can attend the appointment on their own in a taxi booked by school. The taxi would again be charged to the student’s school account.

Our School Counsellors provide a confidential service if students feel they would like to have time to talk. Students can make an appointment through the School Nurse or by contacting the Counsellors directly on counsellor@frensham.org

GPs from Holly Tree Surgery, Rowledge are the Medical Officers for the school. All boarders are registered with Holly Tree Surgery unless you inform the Health Centre that you want to opt out on admission. To register your child, we will need a completed medical form before your child is due to start. The form can be downloaded here. The doctors hold a surgery at the Health Centre on Tuesdays at 2.15pm and Thursdays at 10.30am. Any boarder registered with the practice can make an appointment through the School Nurse and, if required, can request to see a male or female doctor. If your child needs to see a doctor at home during the holidays or at weekends, they should be seen as a temporary resident with a local GP. Please do not re-register your child as this will mean they are no longer registered at the school GP practice. Boarders requiring travel vaccines (after parental consent has been obtained) can be taken to the travel clinic at Holly Tree Surgery and any fee will be added to your school bill. Parents should inform the school nurses of any unscheduled vaccinations given by other centres to enable us to keep your child's vaccination records up to date. Boarders registered with the school GP practice may have an initial consultation as needed with the GP when they start at Frensham Heights.

The Fraser Guidelines and Gillick Competency framework are legal frameworks that guide healthcare professionals in assessing a child’s ability to make informed decisions about their health and treatment. At Frensham Heights Health Centre, these guidelines are applied to ensure that children receive appropriate medical care whilst respecting their rights and responsibilities of healthcare providers.
