Health care and support throughout the school day
At El Centro Inglés, we understand that providing a high-quality international education also means ensuring the physical and emotional wellbeing of our pupils. For this reason, we offer an on-site healthcare service, available to both pupils and staff throughout the school day, from 9:00 am to 4:50 pm.
This provision enables us to respond quickly and effectively to any health-related needs that may arise during the day, guaranteeing both peace of mind for families and the safety of our pupils.
A safe and transparent procedure
Our nursing service operates under a clearly defined protocol, which includes:
- Immediate attention in the event of illness or incidents during the school day
- Direct communication with families at the time of consultation, ensuring trust and transparency
- Detailed records of all actions taken, accessible under supervision to maintain full traceability of care
This system allows us to provide professional, well-organised care tailored to the individual needs of each pupil.
Administration of medication with parental consent
Our healthcare staff do not prescribe medication; however, they do administer it when:
- Prior authorisation has been given by the family
- The medication has been handed in to the school’s medical room at the start of the day
If a pupil requires a specific treatment, it will be administered strictly in accordance with the family’s instructions, ensuring maximum safety and full compliance with healthcare procedures.
Health and safety: key pillars of our educational approach
This service complements our educational model, reinforcing our commitment to the holistic care of each pupil, the trust of our families, and our aim of creating a safe and healthy school environment — essential foundations of any leading international school.
