*IMPORTANT* Health Update

Dear Parents/Carers,

Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a diarrhoea and vomiting illness within school.

To help reduce the spread of infection, we kindly request that any child who has experienced vomiting or diarrhoea remains at home for 48 hours after their last episode of illness. This guidance is in line with NHS recommendations and is outlined in our School Medical Policy.

If children return to school before the 48-hour exclusion period has passed, there is a significantly higher risk of the illness spreading to others.

For your reference, links to the relevant NHS guidance and our School Medical Policy are included below.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us keep our school community healthy.

Kind regards,
