School policy states that we can only administer prescribed medicine for chronic conditions. However, it also states that if written confirmation is given from parents for school to administer, the Headteacher will consider this. The school’s First Aid and Medications Policy is available on the policies page of this website. We ask that parents ensure children have a sun hat in school during the summer term and sun cream is applied before school as staff are not permitted to administer this. ### Parents - [Weekly Newsletters](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/newsletters) - [Important Letters for Parents](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/letters) - [Calendar](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/our-calendar) - [Our School Day at UPS](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/our-school-day-at-ups) - [School Clubs](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/school-clubs) - [Term Dates](https://urmstonprimary.com/termdates) - [Sickness & Medication](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/sickness-medication) - [Attendance and Punctuality](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/attendance-and-punctuality) - [School Uniform](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/school-uniform) - [School Menu](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/school-menu) - [Homework](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/homework) - [Parent Partnership](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/parent-partnership) - [PTA](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/pta) - [Dealing with Bullying](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/dealing-with-bullying) - [e-Safety for Parents](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/e-safety-for-parents) - [Newlands Information](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/newlands-information) - [Privacy Notice](https://urmstonprimary.com/information/privacy-notice) - [Resources for Parents](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/resources-for-parents) - [School of Sport and Play](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/wraparound-care) - [Play Works](https://urmstonprimary.com/parents/play-works) ![Urmston Primary School Logo](https://urmstonprimary.com/images/logo/logo-footer-2.png) ### Urmston Primary School Wycliffe Road, Urmston, Manchester, M41 5AH Tel: [ 0161 748 4362 ](tel:01617484362) Email: [ admin@urmstonprimaryschool.com ](mailto:admin@urmstonprimaryschool.com) ### Quick Links ### Useful Links ### Translate © Urmston Primary School.
