How Huda Academy keeps children safe and well, from everyday health matters to emergency procedures, set out so you can find it fast.
Keeping children safe
Parents need two things from a school: to know their child is safe in the building, and to know what happens when their child is ill or hurt. The school is still to confirm most of the detail.
Safety
The school has a security officer on staffNeeds fixing. Knowing who is at the door, and who is allowed through it, is the first part of keeping children safe.
The school will confirm
The security officer’s role and hours, how visitors sign in, whether the doors are locked during the day, and who may collect a child from school.
Health
The school has its own counselor for students’ wellbeing. For physical health, families need to know who looks after a child who falls ill, when a parent is called to collect them, and how medicine is given at school.
Whatever the procedure, tell the school office early about allergies, medication or a health condition.
The school will confirm
Whether there is a school nurse; who handles illness and first aid; the rules for giving medication at school; when a sick child should stay home; and the immunization records families must provide.
Emergencies
This is the part of the site parents read when something has already happened, so it has to be clear and complete. It will not be published until the school has supplied its procedures.
Staff follow the school’s procedure for the situation, whether a lockdown, a fire, or severe weather. The school’s lockdown, fire and severe-weather procedures, and how often they are practiced, are still to be supplied.Needs fixing
Parents hear from the school directly and should wait for that message. How the school contacts families in an emergency (text, email, phone or an app) and how to keep contact details up to date are still to be supplied.Needs fixing
If children are sent home early or moved to a safe place, there is a set way to collect them. Where and how children are collected after an emergency or early closure, and who may collect them, are still to be supplied.Needs fixing

Peace of mind at school
If your child has allergies, medication, or a health condition, tell the office early so we are ready.
