Is my child too ill to attend school?

This is a question we are often asked and sometimes there is no way we can provide an answer specifically, either because we're not doctors or because it's not within our experience.  By clicking on the picture below, you will be taken directly to the NHS webpage that may help you make a decision.

In all cases of illness, do keep in touch with the school and if you're ever concerned that your child's illness is of a serious nature, then dial 999.

Help for Households

The government have launched a scheme to help those who are struggling financially.

Speak Out, Stay Safe

The NSPCC have worked with schools over the years to help keep children safe. They have now produced a video, with the help of Ant and Dec, for parents to sit and watch with their children to reinforce key messages we give them at school. You can find the video below.

They have also produced some resources that can be used by parents/carers to enable further discussion whilst doing activities with their children.  These are hosted on the NSPCC website at www.nspcc.org.uk/activities.  

Other resources are available on NSPCC webpages to support schools and parents/carers or you can go directly to NSPCC Learning.

Online safety hub

The list of resources includes links to their Online Safety Hub where you will find advice and information on a range of different online safety topics including gaming, social media, sharing nudes, parental controls and more.

You will also find online safety information for families of children with additional needs and disabilities. We have worked with Ambitious about Autism and parents and carers who have children with additional needs and disabilities to create activities to help talk about online safety (see links in resources list).

A Parachute Book is a picture book that helps young children cope with their emotions and deal positively with new experiences, situations and issues.

They deliver comfort, reassurance and acknowledgement to children at times when they need it the most, all wrapped up in the gentle familiarity of a story.

Themes include: anxiety, bereavement, aggression, tantrums, divorce

All About Asthma

Asthma UK has produced a series of useful documents for pupils that have asthma. 

The information is potentially life-saving and we would encourage everyone to read the provided flyers.

Asthma UK has also provided forms to highlight the benefit of having an effective asthma plan, as well as forms to aid response to an asthma attack.
