Allergy Awareness

At Townsend we want to make sure our students with allergies feel safe at school. So, we’re asking everyone in our school community to do their bit to become allergen aware.

At our school we have students with a range of allergies and are at risk of serious harm if they have an allergic reaction.  We ask that everyone does what they can to help us keep them safe.

How can you help?

Let us know if your child has an allergy

Talk to your child about allergies and the importance of:

Taking allergies seriously

Washing their hands before eating

Not sharing food with their friends

Being supportive of their friends who have allergies (being an allergy ally)

Learning about how to react if one of their friends has an allergic reaction.

Avoid giving food that contains allergens to your child to bring in to school

 

If you have any questions or concerns about allergies, please contact Mrs Ryan-Proudfoot on admin@townsend.herts.sch.uk

Thank you
