Additional Needs
For additional information regarding Special Needs, please arrange to speak to the Special Educational Needs Coordinator who can provide you with advice regarding specific issues.
Health Issues and Allergies
It is very important for parents to inform us of any special needs that your child may have, at the time of enrolment. Such needs could be academic, social, emotional, medical or dietary. If any such needs become apparent during your child's school career, again please let us know as soon as possible. Help is available to you from within school and from a range of outside agencies.
Nut Allergy:
Finaghy PS is a nut-free environment. A number of our pupils suffer from nut allergies, which, if triggered, can have serious consequences. Some children need only touch products containing nuts for the allergic reaction to be triggered. We therefore ask that no nuts or nut-related products are brought into school. This includes peanuts, peanut butter, or even products containing nut oil. Please check the contents of snacks and other food that your child brings into school. Many products are now marked 'contains nuts', but some that are made using nut oil are not just as obviously marked.
Other Allergies:
If your child suffers from any other form of allergy, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can prepare for his or her needs.
