Norovirus
Norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, is the most common stomach bug in the UK. Children must stay at home for 48 hours from the last episode of sickness or diahrroea.
Protecting your child against flu
NHS staff provide Nasal Flu vaccinations to children attending the school. Permission will be requested at the time.
Headlice
Head lice remain a common part of primary school life. School staff do not check children’s hair. Because children spend so much time both playing and learning together, it is all too easy for head lice to spread. Anyone can get them and, contrary to popular belief, catching head lice has nothing to do with personal hygiene.
Parents are advised to check each child’s hair weekly and not wait for there to be symptoms. This is by far the best way to prevent head lice.
