What to do if your child is unwell

From time to time your child may be poorly and need to take time off school.  Please read the information below and take appropriate precautions to ensure your child is allowed time to recuperate and any germs or infections are not shared with other members of our school community.

Children who suffer sickness or diarrhoea must be kept off school for 48 hours from the last incidence in order to avoid spreading any infection. If a child has been sick due to car sickness or a specific, non-contagious medical condition, please contact the school office to discuss their return to school.

Please let the school know by 9.15am if your child will not be in school and what is wrong with them.

Infectious Illnesses

We ask parents to inform the school of any infectious illnesses so we can inform and protect any child or member of staff who could be particularly at risk from them.

Please click here to visit the Public Health Agency website for further guidance on infection control in schools and other childcare settings. 

Medicines in School 

Please download and complete a Pupil Medication Request Form if your child requires antibiotics or other medicine to be administered at school (below).
