With the warm summer months now behind us, we are certainly starting to experience that familiar winter nip! Please do ensure that children come to school wearing coats, and have hats and gloves ready for particularly cold days.
As this colder weather sets in, we often see an increase in coughs and colds. We will be reminding children of the importance of handwashing, together with covering their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing and disposing of used tissues promptly.
Children can attend school with slight cough or cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat or headache, as long as they are otherwise well and do not have a high temperature.
It can be difficult deciding whether or not to keep your child off school or nursery. The NHS have produced some guidance to help with this – please see link immediately below:

As always, should you have any concerns regarding your child/children’s school attendance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
