Children's attendance

We have received a number of queries this week regarding children who are experiencing runny noses, upset stomachs, sore throats etc.  and we appreciate your concerns. However, the decision whether to send these children to school rests with the parents.

At this time I would urge parents to stray on the side of caution regarding this and to follow the PHA guidance in regard to the symptoms which may be indicators of COVID19. Remember they may have other illnesses which ordinarily you would keep them at home for anyway.

If staff become concerned about these symptoms when the child is in school, they will contact you to pick them up.

Please also see updated PHA GUIDANCE posted today also.
