UNWELL CHILDREN

Published Friday 2 July 2021

We have received a few phone calls with questions about coughs, colds and sore throats. Our policy remains the same, whereby if a child is unwell they should be kept at home. If you feel that they would not be able to participate in a full and active day at school then they should be at home.

More advice can be found on the government COVID FAQs page https://covid19.gov.im/general-information/back-to...

Information from there is pasted below:

What if a student is unwell?

Attendance at school is compulsory, but if a student feels unwell or develops any COVID-19 symptoms, they should not attend and stay at home. You should notify school as soon as possible and request a PCR test by going to the website or calling 111.

If a primary student is unwell but does not have the symptoms of COVID-19, you should treat them as you would with another illness, keeping at home if severe and notifying school, but it is a good idea to monitor them to ensure that they do not begin displaying COVID-19 symptoms.

We know that you know your children best and trust you to do what is right by your family and the whole school community. Thank you.

If you would like to speak to someone at school to talk through individual situations, please call us on 835531 or email us using phurtlemoirreyenquiries@sch.im.

If we believe your child is unwell, we will contact you and ask that you collect them from school as soon as possible.
