Health Alert – Gastro 

As you may be aware there is currently an increase in the number of gastro cases in childcare centres at the moment. As this is going around and very easily spreadable we ask that you be particularly vigilant in terms of keeping your child home if they are displaying any of the below symptoms:

• loss of appetite
• bloating
• nausea
• vomiting
• abdominal cramps
• abdominal pain
• diarrhoea
• bloody stools (poo) – in some cases
• pus in stools – in some cases
• generally feeling unwell – including lethargy and body aches

Also please note that school policy states that your child cannot return to school until they are 48hrs symptom free (no vomiting or diarrhoea).

Thank you for helping us keep our school healthy and well!
