Please advise us of any medical or health issues your child has. It is also important that we know about any allergies. A copy of the school's policy on medical conditions is available:

Please use common sense when deciding whether or not your child is too ill to attend school. A list of common childhood illnesses and appropriate actions are given later on this page. As a general rule, ask yourself the following questions ...

• Is my child well enough to do the activities of the school day?
  If not, keep your child at home.
• Does my child have a condition that could be passed on to other children or school staff?
  If so, keep your child at home.
• Would I take a day off work if I had this condition?
  If so, keep your child at home.

In cases of absence, please notify the school immediately.

The link below explains how long you should be absent for with common childhood illnesses.
