Some illnesses/infections require that your child is kept away from school for a fixed period of time and we follow the Health Protection Agency guidance on infection control in schools and other childcare settings for all illness. A copy of the document is below.
Children suffering from a gastrointestinal illness (diarrhoea and/or vomiting) MUST be kept off school for 48 hours after the symptoms have stopped to limit the spread of infection.
Please read our Policies under 'About our School' for information about Medication in schools.
