Student Health & Wellbeing

For example: 

• close tracking of individual progress
• creating a sense of belonging through team-building activities
• form time and assemblies dedicated to health and wellbeing
• promoting healthy eating and exercise
• counselling provision
• Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) lessons
• trained pastoral care staff

We also have Head Boys and Girls who look after the younger students and are great role models.

School Nurse

The school employs a full-time qualified nurse, who deal with day-to-day matters such as cuts and bruises and those children who feel unwell whilst at school. Read our policy for medical care.

Allergy Aware School

Some children have severe allergies; please be advised that the school is a nut-free zone. No products containing any nuts are allowed within the school premises.

When children go on school trips (day trips or residential), or parents provide cakes or food for birthdays or special events, parents are asked to refrain from supplying products which contain any nuts. 

Healthy Eating

A hot, healthy and nutritious lunch is served to all children in school. Please inform the school if your child has dietary restrictions (whether for health, religious or allergy reasons).

Students are also encouraged to bring a healthy snack along with a drink bottle. A selection of fruit is provided twice a day for all the students in Early Years.

Security

There is no issue that the school takes more seriously than the safety of our students. We have security guards at the front gate to ensure unauthorised personnel do not enter the school grounds.

All families enrolled at The British School of Nanjing will be given two Authorised Pick-Up ID Cards. All other visitors entering the school are required to sign in and out.  All visitors must wear a Visitor ID Card whilst on site. No adult will be allowed on the school grounds without wearing an ID card and staff have been directed to challenge any adult who is not wearing an ID card. Please support us in this. 

Parents are responsible for the Authorised Pick-Up ID Card and must inform the school if the card has been lost or stolen. Parents are responsible for retaining these cards and issuing them to new drivers, ayi’s as when appropriate. Should a parent need additional cards they can be applied for, in person, at the front desk.

Parents should provide the school with at least two contact telephone numbers in case of emergencies. It is vital that parents inform the school of any changes to these contact numbers.
