If your child becomes unwell at school, it may be necessary for them to go home. We ask that you provide the school with emergency contact details for this purpose. Also if your child is unwell or has an acute infection we ask that they remain at home as we do not have the facilities to care for sick children within the school. If we are advised that your child needs to be taken directly to hospital you will be notified immediately and arrangements made for ambulance transport. It is vitally important that we have two telephone contact numbers through which you may be contacted in the event of an emergency.
If your child has been sick or has had diarrhoea, we ask that they remain at home for at least 48 hours clear to ensure that the infection has cleared.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IF HE/SHE IS UNWELL.
Accidental Injury in School
If your child sustains an accidental injury in school, our first aiders will advise us on the best course of action to take. If the injury is minor, you will be informed by telephone or by letter/first aid slip when your child returns home. If the injury is more serious you will be informed immediately by telephone. Should your child need to be taken home or to hospital, arrangements will be made as described in the previous section above.
