Pupils' Well Being

First aid

The Pastoral Administrator and trained first aiders are in school to assess which steps should be taken should an accident occur or when a pupil is unwell. Medication is not administered but first aid treatment may be given for cuts, abrasions and suspected broken limbs. If necessary, doctors or hospitals will be contacted and where possible, parents telephoned, though it may be necessary to carry out emergency measures before this is possible.

Nurse

During lunchtime once a fortnight a qualified nurse comes into school to run a ‘drop-in' session. She is available to discuss any problems a pupil may have, e.g. homework, eating disorders, health, relationships/bullying, etc.

Child Protection law

The school has a legal responsibility under the Child Protection Law to contact Social Services or the Police if staff consider a pupil is in danger through abuse or neglect. It may be that under these circumstances parents would not be contacted in advance.

Counselling

The school has two school counsellors who see a number of pupils each week. Usually clients meet the counsellor once a week following a mutual agreement between parents, client and the school. There is also a facility for pupils to refer themselves to the counsellor, in which case parents would not necessarily be informed. There is often a waiting list for these services. The counsellors are well qualified and have been part of Tring School for a number of years.

Special Educational Needs

Pupils with Special Educational Needs are also well catered for at Tring School. The staff from the Learning Support Centre attend selected lessons to help those pupils with learning difficulties and also co-ordinate the writing of Individual Education Plans.
