Many childhood illnesses are minor but some have a risk of further infection to others.
As a school we follow guidance from NHS England and the HSE with regard to exclusion periods for different illnesses. Although we don’t want children to be absent from school it is important that we follow these guidelines to minimise the risks to others.
If your child has an illness and you are unsure if they child should attend school, please click on the links below which detail restriction and exclusion periods as provided by the Health Protection Agency which we adhere to. These guidelines are particularly important in the case of any infectious illness that might be spread.
