Sickness Policy

To help keep everyone healthy, please follow these guidelines when your child is unwell.

Covid & Respiratory Illnesses

We now treat Covid like other respiratory illnesses. If your child has a fever or feels unwell, they should stay at home. If they test positive for Covid, they should remain at home for three days.

For fevers, children should only return 24 hours after their temperature is back to normal without medication.

For sickness or diarrhoea, children must stay home for 48 hours after their last episode.

Chickenpox

Children with chickenpox should stay home for five days from when the rash appears and until all spots have crusted over.

Measles

Measles cases are increasing in 2024. To protect your child, please check with your GP about vaccinations.

If you’re unsure whether your child should attend, please speak to us.
