Little Common Primary School
Bexhill-Upon-Sea in East Sussex is home to Little Common Primary School.
One of the most compelling demonstrations of our value took place at this school.
Our Customer Success team had reached out to Louise Moor, Headteacher at Little Common, as part of a routine satisfaction check-up. What Louise informed us of was not we expected to hear but something our whole team were proud and thankful to hear.
The school, like many others, had found itself relying heavily on a paper-based method of recording and storing medical incidents and information.
Louise and her team are driven in their goal to nurture their students to become the best versions of themselves and send them on to the next stage of their educational journey with confidence and ability. With this in mind, Louise speaks of the advantages of Medical Tracker on Little Common.
"We use the reporting module to monitor which children attend the first aid room frequently to identify social, emotional and physical needs. This allows us to investigate issues and resolve them.
"The ability to see which areas have the most accidents enables us to monitor problem zones and to put extra measures in place to reduce risk and accidents".
“We love the ease of online, quick, paperless communication. The reporting tools are powerful for DSL and health and safety use and the charts are a great visual for governor reporting”.

How Medical Tracker saved a young girls sight - and life.
Louise tells us how the first aid room monitoring on Medical Tracker led to a vital discovery which, ultimately, has saved a life.
What would Louise say to other schools still using paper-based methods?
"Like all new programmes it is tricky in the beginning but we have had continued support all through the stages to date and use the system very well."
"I would definitely recommend to all."
It helps me with our site manager and look at health and safety improvements. For example, In technology, the bulk of our injuries were eye injuries and it was through not wearing safety goggles. So we were able to locate what health and safety issues are happening in departments.

Parents receive instant notifications when incidents or medication administration are recorded. A full communication audit trail is saved. This helps parents feel that their child is well looked after at school- great for Ofsted!

It's a really simple solution to a complex problem. I can't think why no one has come up with it before now. It’s also easy to get support and the system is being developed all the time.
