We are seeing an increasing number of students visiting our First Aid Office requesting cups for water. As well as disrupting the students’ learning it also means that unfortunately other students with medical issues have to wait to be seen.
With the weather warming up (hooray!) it is even more important to have access to water to help prevent dehydration. Please can we therefore remind you that all students should have a water bottle with them each day in school.
It is well evidenced that adequate hydration also has the following wonderful benefits:
- Improved concentration and attention span
- Improved short term memory and the ability to learn
- Improved behaviour – dehydration can present as irritability and distractedness
Thank you in advance for your support.
