🤒 Keep Children Home When Unwell 

We have a child at our school with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is not contagious, but it makes children more vulnerable to germs. Even a simple cold can lead to serious  

🧼 How We Can All Help 

To reduce the spread of germs and keep everyone healthy: 

1. Keep unwell children at home. 
2. Teach and encourage good hand hygiene: 
3. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. 
4. Cover coughs and sneezes with elbow or tissue. 
5. Remember: It’s impossible to avoid all infections, but these steps lower the risk for everyone. 

Please keep your child at home if they are unwell or recovering from a recent contagious illness. This includes: 

• Vomiting or diarrhoea 
• Cold or flu symptoms 
• Covid-19 
• Chest infections 
• Chickenpox 
• Whooping cough 
• Any other contagious conditions 

Children should stay home until they are symptom-free. 

Thank you for your support and cooperation! 

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
