IS YOUR CHILD TOO ILL FOR SCHOOL?
It is usually appropriate for parents and carers to send their children to school with mild illnesses. This would include general cold symptoms: a minor cough, runny nose or sore throat. However, children should not be sent to school if they have a temperature of 38°C or above.
Please see advice from NHS in relation to whether your child is well enough to come to school or not.
