It is important that pupils are in school as much as possible to gain the most from the opportunities school provides. We encourage parents to send their children to school whenever they are fit to do so. On the rare occasions when a child is ill and unable to attend school, we ask that families contact the school office via telephone or email before 9am to let us know of an illness related absence.
When heading into the new school year or term children will pick up more common infections and illnesses, the local NHS has asked us to remind you to visit the new West Yorkshire Healthier Together website which provides guidance on a wide range of common illnesses and medical conditions that affect children and young people aged between 0 -19 : www.wyhealthiertogether.nhs.uk
The West Yorkshire Healthier Together website, written by Doctors and Health and Care Staff in West Yorkshire has advice and guidance on a wide range of common illnesses and medical conditions that affect children and young people aged between 0-19, and for advice on when you should / shouldn’t send them to school:
