What to do if your child is ill
Your child should attend school if they only have a minor illness. The school will send them home if they think it is necessary.
Use this NHS guide to see what illnesses may require you to keep you child away from school.
If you keep your child off school, the school may ask for medical evidence.
If your child has a long term illness, the school can offer a range of support. They may also arrange Teaching for sick children.
