Precautions to avoid heat exhaustion and sunburn
We have had a number of students coming into the medical room over the last few days complaining of headaches, feeling sick and feeling faint, and then asking to take paracetamol. On talking to them we have found that their symptoms are most likely caused by dehydration.
We would be grateful if you would reiterate to your children the importance of having a drink before leaving for school in the mornings and also bringing a water bottle with them. If they will be outside during the day, a sun hat and sunscreen would also be advisable.
There are a number of water fountains around the school where students can fill up their water bottles at break and lunchtime.
Please be assured we will not administer paracetamol (where we have consent to do so) if all they need is rehydrating.
With high temperatures currently please can you remind your child(ren) the importance of the following:
- To apply sunscreen before they come to school, and to bring this with them in order to re-apply it when necessary.
- Bringing a water bottle to school, which can be refilled at breaks and lunches as needed from the water fountains around the school.
- Wearing a sun hat/cap which covers their head, neck and ears for their PE Lessons.
- During breaks and lunches please recommend your child to find a shady spot to enjoy the weather.
Although the weather is due to cool in the coming days, we have the rest of the Summer term and September when temperatures could be well above average.
Summer holiday sports courses now live!
