Preventing the spread of Gastro-intestinal Infections

When several children are absent due to vomiting and/or diarrhoea, it is highly likely due to the spread of a gastro-intestinal (GI) infection.

Clusters of children from the same class or friendship group may become ill and display the same symptoms.

Symptoms may include:

  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal (stomach) pain
  • Tiredness
  • Flu-like symptoms

Most common stomach and intestinal infections are infectious, especially between younger children.

GI infections may be caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite.

Preventing the spread of GI infections

Hand washing

We teach the importance of hand washing at school to reduce the spread of infection.

Please model thorough hand washing at home and school, especially after visits to the toilet and before eating any food. This will help to stop the infection from spreading.

Don’t allow children to share snacks

Although we encourage sharing of toys and resources, the sharing of snacks makes it easy for infections to pass from one child to another.

Keep children at home if unwell

Children should only return to school once they are well.

Whilst at home, they need lots of rest and fluids, mainly water, to prevent dehydration.

If symptoms become more severe, the family should seek medical attention.

Returning to school

Children should only start back at school when they are completely free of symptoms.

If a child returns to school still unwell, the parents will be asked to take their child home.

FS children (Nursery/FS1/FS2)

Should be kept at home for at least 48 hours from the last bout of vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Y1 – Y6 children

Should be kept at home for at least 24 hours from the last bout of vomiting and/or diarrhea.

General Information 


From the PTG


Snacks - Nut Free School

We provided tasty and nutritious snacks each day for the students in class. As some of our children have allergies, please ensure any food sent to school does not contain any sort of nut.

Lunchtimes 

Our students have been enjoying their healthy and varied lunches in our newly refurbished canteen. If you ever do wish to eat with your children, we encourage you to do this on special occasions.  

When in the canteen and around school please be mindful of our safeguarding policies and responsibilities and do not take photographs or videos of students other than your own children.

Toys

Students should not be bringing any toys or personal items to school. This includes card games such as Pokemon. 

Personal belongings such as these can cause upset should they become lost and therefore should be left at home.

Arriving late to school

We recognise that often there is quite challenging traffic on the soi outside of school.

If your child arrives at school late, it is important that they are accompanied to the correct classroom. 

Please do not leave your child to make their way independently as their classroom may be empty due to specialist lessons. If this is the case, please ensure that your child is escorted to their specialist or alternatively seek help from a member of the Year 1 team.  Your child’s safety and well-being is our top priority.

Birthday celebrations

We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.

If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts or cupcakes. Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School.

The following student is celebrating this week:
