Health and Wellbeing
Our clinic is open daily to attend to our students and staff, and to ensure their continued health and wellbeing.
We offer First Aid to anyone who should require it during the school day, providing the appropriate medical treatment that has been authorised by students’ families. We are a cardio-protective school, which means that we have semi-automatic defibrillators and staff are trained to be able to use them in an emergency.
Additionally, the clinic regularly carries out Health Campaigns and gives both practical and theoretical talks for students on First Aid. They are also responsible for keeping a register of students’ diets, allergies and medication.
Speech Therapist
Our students can count on the support of professional help with any speech difficulties, including speech or language, without having to leave the premises during the day.
They can request an appointment for an assessment and diagnosis of issues such as stuttering, dyslalia, pronunciation problems or dysphonia, among others.
The speech therapist will use some of the following techniques:
✦ The Doman early stimulation method
✦ Orofacial and myofunctional therapy
✦ Postural and vocal relaxation
✦ Prevention of dysphonia and voice re-education
Qualified Professionals
The clinic is led by our school nurse, María Benedí, who graduated in Nursing from the Catholic University of Valencia and is a former student of Caxton College. Her experience in this field is based on previous positions of responsibility, above all in the Intensive Care Unit of the IVO and in the Maternity and Pediatrics Area of the 9 de Octubre Hospital in Valencia. She has completed a Master’s Degree in School Nursing, in order to specialise in health problems in school age children, as well as in promotion and prevention in children’s health.
In addition, Dr Mascarós, who specialises in family medicine, is available in the clinic once a week to attend to any medical issues that students may be experiencing.
