Dear Parents and Carers
After receiving questions from several parents regarding coughs, colds etc. we thought that we should clarify our procedures and give you the best advice that we can.
During the autumn term most children experience some form of mild illness (cough, cold, sickness) which is generally harmless and short-lived. However, as we are faced with a global pandemic, it is understandable that parents will be anxious about whether their child should be in school. Here are some steps to follow:
If we feel your child is unwell whilst in our care, and that their symptoms suggest COVID-19, we will contact you and ask you to take them for a test.
Should you have questions or concerns at any point, please feel free to contact school. Although we are not medical professionals, we are always happy to help.
Kind regards
Mrs S M Penney
Headteacher
In addition, we have added a poster to the 'parents' section of the website and to our school Facebook page to help.
