SICKNESS AND DIARRHOEA
In accordance with the Public Health Agency, if your child has suffered from vomiting or diarrhoea please ensure that they remain away from school for 48 hours after the symptoms have stopped. However if you feel the sickness is not a bug, and has been caused by either over exertion or a reaction to a particular food, please send your child to school as normal.
