Becoming The Best We Can Be
What happens if my child is ill or needs medical support?
What do I do if my child is too unwell to attend school?
- Please call school or send an email to explain that your child is unwell. We will need to know your child's name and the nature of their illness, we will need to call you if you simply report they are unwell.
- Children should not attend school for 48 hours after any episode of sickness or diarrhoea.
- We kindly ask that parents/carers follow the advice of medical professionals and the NHS in relation to any other illnesses.
What happens if my child becomes unwell at school?
- Please be reassured that we will call you if we are worried about your child.
- If your child is too unwell for school, we will ask you to collect them.
- Sometimes we may call you to discuss your child, we may ask for you to help decide whether you would like us to keep them, perhaps providing a dose of Calpol, or whether you would prefer to pick them up.
