It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they're unwell.  The advice below and more detailed information from the NHS can support you in making a decision about this.

If you do keep your child at home, it's important to contact us on the first day. Let us know that your child won't be in and give us the reason.  You can do this by leaving a message on our attendance line (01424 842297 option X), phoning the office during opening hours or by dropping us an email or message through the Arbor app.  Please ensure you do this by 8:30am or as soon as practically possible.

• Please make sure the bottle has a pharmacy label detailing your child's name, dosage and how frequently they should have it 

• There is a form to complete to authorise us to administer this 

• Please discuss with the school office
