If your child has not had a pre-school medical he/she will see the school nurse in their second term. Regular checks are made on children's sight, hearing and teeth. You will be informed beforehand and invited to attend if necessary. #### Medication If your child requires medication prescribed by his/her doctor we can administer this at the required times throughout the school day, simply bring the medicine to the school office in the original box with the dispensing label intact and complete a Medical Administration form. Please note, we can only administer over the counter medication by completing the same form, indicating why your child needs to have this. The Medical Administration form can be obtained from the main office. #### Inhalers If your child has an inhaler in school, please ensure it is in its box, so we can identify who it belongs to with the dispensing label intact. If your child uses an AeroChamber or Spacer, ensure you collect this at the end of every half-term, to be cleaned and checked and bring back at the start of the new term. ### Parents - [Starting Year R in September 2027](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/starting-year-r-in-september-2027) - [Term Dates](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/inset-days-term-dates) - [Calendar](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/calendar) - [Year Group Letters](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/updates/letters-home) - [Termly Newsletters](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/updates/newsletters) - [Attendance](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/attendance) - [Illnesses and Medical Information](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/medical-first-aid) - [Uniform](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/school-uniform) - [School Meals and Snacks](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/school-meals-lunches) - [Music Lessons](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/music-lessons) - [Online Safety](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/online-safety) - [Wraparound Care](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/wraparound-care) - [After School Clubs](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/after-school-clubs) - [Anti Bullying](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/anti-bullying) ![Wordsworth Primary and Nursery School](https://files.schudio.com/wordsworth-primary-school/images/logo/logo-footer.png) ### Wordsworth Primary and Nursery School Victor Street Shirley Southampton SO15 5LH 02380 776397 ### Useful Links - [Vision & Values](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/about-us/school-vision-values) - [Attendance](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/information-for-parents/attendance) - [School Opening Times](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/school-opening-times) - [Policies](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/school-policies) - [SEND](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/send) © Copyright 2025–2026 Wordsworth Primary and Nursery School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://wordsworthprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
