Absences
All absences should be reported to school as soon as possible.
Where the illness is vomiting and/or diarrhoea, please keep your child off school for 48 hours after the last symptoms.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
If your child has any one or more of the following symptoms, please inform school (by calling 01675 463672) and keep your child off:
- a new, continuous cough, and/or
- a high temperature (over 37.9 degrees), and/or
- a loss of taste/smell
If your child develops any COVID-19 symptoms while at school, we will send them home with a letter (see below) outlining what you need to do next and when your child can return to school.
Please note:
- When we send a symptomatic child home, all siblings will also be sent home and are required to isolate until a negative test result is received.
- Lateral flow tests are only for non-symptomatic testing. If your child has symptoms you should get a PCR test.
Please inform the school immediately if you receive a positive test result so that the Health Protection Team can assess the situation and advise the school community. Government guidelines regarding isolation should be strictly followed.
