Medical Arrangements
The school has a large number of qualified first aiders amongst the staff, with at least one fully trained and qualified member of staff in each classroom. Meath School has a well-equipped dispensary with approved and applauded systems for storing and dispensing medication. Staff attend regular training for paediatric first aid, as well as specific training e.g around epilepsy, peg feeding and epipen administration.
Day children remain registered with their home doctor while all residential children can be registered with the school’s General Practitioner. All children are screened by a visiting orthoptist (to check eyesight) who will refer to other specialists if needed.
