First aid and allergies
At St Luke's, we pride ourselves on ensuring that all children with medical and allergy needs are accommodated fully in school. Staff are trained to work with children who have medical and allergy needs and work alongside and in partnership with parents and outside medical professionals. All information is updated regularly and training needs of staff are always met.

Support for families experiencing domestic violence
With the recent pandemic and lockdowns, incidents of domestic abuse have sadly become increasingly common across the UK.
With the safety and welfare of all our families in mind, we are sharing with you government domestic abuse guidance in Bengali, Somali, Mandarin and other languages.
These links explain how to recognise and report domestic abuse and where support can be accessed for victims and perpetrators.
If you have any concerns about the situation of yourself or others, please do not hesitate to read and follow the advice provided.
Keep well and take good care of yourselves.
