💙💛 ANAPHYLAXIS KITT – KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE 💛💙

At Hanley St Luke’s, we take allergies and anaphylaxis very seriously. We have an Anaphylaxis KITT in school to provide an additional layer of protection in an emergency.

🚨 What is an Anaphylaxis KITT?

An Anaphylaxis KITT is an emergency kit containing adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) and the equipment needed to support a child experiencing a suspected anaphylactic reaction.

The kit is kept in school so that emergency treatment can be accessed quickly, rather than relying solely on a child’s own prescribed medication being immediately available.

💉 How does it work?

If a child experiences symptoms of anaphylaxis, trained staff will follow the school’s emergency procedures.

Adrenaline is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be given promptly when anaphylaxis is suspected.

👩‍🏫 Our staff

Staff are vigilant and receive information and training around allergies and anaphylaxis. We also have procedures in place to ensure that emergency medication and allergy information can be accessed quickly when needed.

❤️ What does this mean for parents?

Please tell us if your child has an allergy, particularly if they have been newly diagnosed or their allergy or medication has changed.

If your child has been prescribed their own adrenaline auto-injector, please ensure that school has the required medication and up-to-date information.

🥜 A very important reminder: Please do not send food or other items containing nuts into school. For some children, even very small amounts can cause a serious allergic reaction.

We are proud of our school uniform and encourage pupils to take pride in their appearance. Long hair must be tied up, and no jewellery items must be worn, except small stud earrings. 

PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL UNIFORM IS LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME as we cannot return items of clothing if we do not know who owns it! 

PE kits MUST be the uniform colours. Children cannot come into school wearing other tracksuits.

EYFS only

All children must have a spare set of uniform in both Foundation Stage 1 and 2. If they need to be changed during the day, for whatever reason, it is important they have a spare set of clean clothing to change into.

We also offer a second-hand uniform service, providing pre-loved school uniforms at no cost.

If you need support with uniform, please contact our school office on 01782 234390.

Welcome to the National Schoolwear Centres Hanley website

This week, we have enjoyed celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week across school! 💚

Today, everyone looked fantastic wearing something green to help raise awareness and show support for positive mental health. Our Year 6 children also enjoyed some well-deserved treats after working incredibly hard during their SATs week — we are so proud of them! 🌟

Children also took part in a fun mental health workout with Joe Wicks, reminding us all about the importance of staying active and taking care of our wellbeing.

It’s so important to look after your mind and body… and each other. 💚

🌍🎉 Celebrating Sir David Attenborough at Hanley St Luke’s Academy 🎉🌍 

On Friday 8th May, our whole school came together to celebrate an incredible milestone — Sir David Attenborough turning 100 years old! 💚 

We spent the day learning about who Sir David Attenborough is, the amazing work he has done, and why he is such an important figure in protecting our natural world. Children also took part in thoughtful discussions about climate change, how we can look after our planet, and the small but meaningful ways we can all live more sustainably. 🌱♻️ 

Sir David has always believed in the power of children to shape the future, saying: 

“Young people – they care. They know that this is the world that they’re going to grow up in and spend the rest of their lives in.” 

Our children showed just how true this is with their brilliant ideas, enthusiasm, and commitment to caring for our planet. 🌎✨ 

Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David — thank you for inspiring generations past, present, and future. 💚 

🏆 We are thrilled to share that Hanley St Luke's has earned the School Games Platinum Mark Award for 2025/26!

This Government-led award, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust, recognizes schools that champion competition and physical activity both in school and throughout the community.

Our young athletes have had an incredible year competing in 🏈 rugby, ⚽ football, 🏏 cricket, 🏐 netball, 🎣 fishing, 🏊 swimming, 🥎 rounders, and 🏃 athletics. Beyond the playing field, we are equally proud of our student volunteers, leaders, and officials who helped make every competition possible.

This award reflects the dedication of our entire school community—from our pupils who showed up with heart and determination, to every adult who supported our physical education provision. The success came from meeting criteria across participation, competition, workforce, and clubs, and honestly, it took all of us working together to get here.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Hanley St Luke's who made this possible. We cannot wait to apply again in 2027! 🌟
