In the past we noticed that a few children have brought cough lozenges in to school.
Whilst we understand that parents/carers are giving these in order to ease their children’s cough/sore throat symptoms, they are a form of medicine and so have the potential to cause harm.
They also present a potential choking risk.
We have strict procedures regarding the use of medicines in school and a healthy eating philosophy that does not allow children to have sweets.
Our concern also is that lozenges brought in to school without the knowledge of staff will be shared and consumed by children as if they are sweets.
Please support us by not sending your child into school with lozenges.
Thank you for your support.
