There are three important issues in determining when a child is too ill to attend school:

1. The protection of other children from communicable disease i.e. measles, chicken pox, diarrhoea and vomiting.
2. The comfort and safety of the child who is ill. There’s no place like home!
3. The capacity of school staff to look after a sick child.

Please report any illness to your child’s teacher or school secretary.

If your child becomes ill whilst at school we will make them as comfortable as possible, we will then contact the parent/carer to collect the child.
