Arbor/Student Services forms 

Please ensure you contact Student Services with any changes to your child’s medical conditions as and when they occur. Contact Student Services with any other medical updates we need to be aware of to support your child. studentservices@shoreham-academy.org Student Services will send out eForms periodically to capture any key updates.  

Asthma

If your child suffers from Asthma, they are required to carry their in-date inhaler on them at all times. Please can this be named so it can be quickly returned if it is lost. It is the student's responsibility to ensure they take it with them to break, lunch and all lessons, including PE.  

Anaphylaxis

If your child is at risk of anaphylaxis and has been prescribed an adrenaline auto-injector it is vital that they carry one on them at all times, including break, lunch and all lessons, including PE. You are also required to provide a spare, in date auto-injector to the academy first aid room.  

First Aid

The first aid room is located behind Student Services. If your child becomes injured or unwell whilst in school, they are able to come to Student Services to request help. Students should not be calling home using their mobile phones when feeling unwell. They must report to student services in the first instance to be seen and assessed by our team. Where appropriate we will make contact with parents/carers to ask you to collect your child from school. 

Medicines

Students should not carry any medicines on them during the school day apart from prescribed asthma inhalers and adrenaline auto injectors.

If your child is in need of any medicines during the day they must be handed in at student services and an Administration of Medication form completed and signed by parents/carers.  We only require the exact amount of meds needed and all unused meds will be made available for collection at the end of each term.

If your child is on a course of antibiotics these will only be accepted into school if they are required to be taken four times a day.  If they are taken three times a day they should be taken in the morning, on arrival back home and at bedtime.

Paracetamol is available during academy lunch breaks for minor ailments on an occasional basis.

Lost Property

Please contact reception or Student Services if your child has lost anything while in school. 

Student Lockers

All students can be assigned a locker. There is a £5 refundable deposit for locker keys, this should be paid on Arbor pay. Please contact Student Services if you have any queries studentservices@shoreham-academy.org 

Year 7 Lockers 

Unfortunately, we are not able to give access to Arbor school shop for our new intake group until the 2nd September. Please apply for lockers on that date and the days following by making the payment on Arbor. We will allocate lockers to our new year 7 in advance, to ensure we can get them as close to their mentor room as possible. When we receive your payment, your child will then be given the key and locker details in the first two weeks of the new term.

We look forward to welcoming your children at Shoreham Academy in September.
