Should My Child Go to School Today?

Think Twice - Every Day Counts.

As part of the local authority’s campaign to improve school attendance across the city, the North East Community Improvement Project has funded information booklets to hand out to all families in this area.  It contains advice on common childhood ailments and attendance at school.  This invaluable mini document is attached to a magnet so you can stick it on the fridge for easy reference!

Charlotte Gomesz, our school nurse, will talk to all pupils in assemblies about treating and coping with minor illnesses and still offers advice and support at her regular Tuesday drop in sessions.  Parents are also welcome to see Charlotte when she is in and should contact School Reception to make an appointment.

The fridge magnets will be handed out in assemblies, so please look in your children’s school bags if you do not receive it or contact me (Mrs Summers) at the school and I will send you one.

If you would like further guidance and advice on whether your child is well enough to come into school, then the school nurses run a morning attendance phone service between 8.30 – 9.30 am on 07917594719 to answer or reassure you with any queries or concerns you may have.  Of course you can still contact the Welfare Office or your child’s tutor or Head of Year in the usual way.
