Attendance Information for Parents/Carers

Please read the following chart with respect to taking children out of school during term time. These are changes that came into force from this term - September 2024.

Covid

Please keep a very close eye on your child/ren and keep a check of their temperature and other symptoms. Thank you.

COVID-19 symptoms can include:

a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
shortness of breath
feeling tired or exhausted
an aching body
a headache
a sore throat
a blocked or runny nose
loss of appetite
diarrhoea
feeling sick or being sick

The symptoms are very similar to symptoms of other illnesses, such as colds and flu.

What to do if you have symptoms of COVID-19

You may be able to look after yourself at home if you have COVID-19 or symptoms of COVID-19.

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you or your child have symptoms and either:

have a high temperature
do not feel well enough to go to work, school, childcare, or do your normal activities

You can go back to your normal activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature.

If your child has mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat or mild cough, and they feel well enough, they can go to school or childcare.

What to do if you have tested positive

You are no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if you have symptoms.

But if you or your child have tested positive for COVID-19:

try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day the test was taken if you or your child are under 18 years old – children and young people tend to be infectious to other people for less time than adults
try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test if you are 18 years old or over
avoid meeting people who are more likely to get seriously ill from viruses, such as people with a weakened immune system, for 10 days after the day you took your test

Urgent advice

Ask for an urgent GP appointment or get help from NHS 111 if:

you're worried about your or a child's COVID-19 symptoms or are not sure what to do
the symptoms are getting worse or are not getting better
you or a child have other signs of illness, such as a rash, loss of appetite, or feeling weak
you or a child have a high temperature that last 5 days or more or does not come down with paracetamol
a child under 3 months old and has a temperature of 38C or higher, or you think they have a high temperature
a child 3 to 6 months old and has a temperature of 39C or higher, or you think they have a high temperature

It's particularly important to get help if you're at increased risk of getting ill from COVID-19, such as if you're pregnant, aged 60 or over, or have a weakened immune system.

You can call 111 or get help from 111 online.

Call 999 or go to A&E if you or a child:

seems very unwell, is getting worse or you think there's something seriously wrong – children and babies in particular can get unwell very quickly
get sudden chest pain
are so breathless you're unable to say short sentences when resting or your breathing has suddenly got worse – in babies their stomach may suck in under their ribs
start coughing up blood
collapse, faint, or have a seizure or fit for the first time
a rash that does not fade when you roll a glass over it, the same as meningitis
