Keeping our Students Healthy
At George Green's, we understand the importance of health and wellness in ensuring our students' personal and academic success. For that, we work closely with the council and the NHS to ensure our students wellbeing.
We have recently introduced a new piece of online software to improve the first aid and health provision at George Green's School.
This software has been funded by NHS and is now being used in school to track
- first aid provided
- medicine administered
- medicine expiry dates and
- the overall health and wellness of our students.
The NHS are able to access our school medical tracker to ensure that they have the most up to date information about our students' heath needs.
If you have any questions about Medical Tracker please contact Ms Hoare via email at lhoare@georgegreens.com
As we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our students, we actively promote flu immunisation as an essential part of their health care. The local council provides resources and support for parents to ensure that secondary age children receive the necessary vaccinations.
We encourage all parents to take advantage of these opportunities to protect their children and contribute to a healthier school environment. Please read the information below and follow the link to offer your consent for your child's vaccination.
