Cold Weather Approaching

As the cold weather has arrived and with it the arrival of colds, flus and viruses, we remind parents to not bring their child to school if they have a temperature or have been unwell in the night. We are grateful for your support with making sure we stop the spread of any viruses in school. Our policy for temperatures is 24 hours and our policy for vomiting and/or diarrhoea is 48 hours before the children can return to school. This is inline with NHS guidelines. Thank you for your support.
