Sickness  

As a school we understand that children become unwell and young children in particular are likely to catch a number of illnesses from school.    Below is a useful guide for some common childhood illness and how long they should be off school.      

Covid – 19

Guidance from the NHS states that if your child has mild symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat, or a slight cough and feels well enough, they can go to school.

You should try to stay home and avoid contact with other people if they have symptoms of Covid-19 and they either have:

  • A high temperature
  • Do not feel well enough to go to school or do their normal activities.
