Allergens
At Worth Primary, we want to keep all children safe and supported, including those with allergies. Allergens are substances that can cause an allergic reaction in some people. For some children, even small amounts can trigger symptoms, so it is important that we work together as a school and with parents to understand needs and reduce risk.
We ask families to share any known allergies, including specific triggers and the type of reaction a child may have (for example, food, inhaled allergens, or contact reactions). If your child has an allergy, please ensure the school holds the correct medical information and any required medication. Where appropriate, we will follow agreed care plans and support arrangements in line with school policy.
In school, we aim to manage allergens through clear communication, careful food handling, and sensible routines in classrooms and at events. If your child needs a specific arrangement, such as avoiding certain foods or having medication available, please speak with the school office or your child’s class team. Together, we can help create a safe environment for all children at Worth Primary.
