If your child is unwell, or has been unwell in the night, please do not send him/her into school.

If your child has been sick or had diarrhoea, please do not send him/her back to school until 48 hours after the last bout.

If your child becomes unwell at school, we will telephone you, or one of your named contacts, so please ensure that we always have your current contact details.

If your child has an accident at school, we have qualified First Aiders on the staff, who can deal with most problems. However, should anything serious occur, an ambulance will be called and we will inform you immediately.

Please let us know if your child develops a medical condition or if a known condition changes in some way.

Head Lice

Unfortunately, this is a growing problem in schools. Please do not be alarmed or distressed if you discover your child has head lice as it is very common. The best method of prevention is:

• Regular checks
• Frequent wet-combing with a fine-toothed comb
• Long hair tied back to prevent spread
• Discourage sharing of hairbrushes and combs.

If we find your child has live lice in his/her hair, we will telephone you and ask you to take him/her home for treatment so as to avoid the lice spreading during the day. Once treated, your child may come back to school.

It is very important that your child is checked regularly and treated if necessary
