Illness and Absence from School
A difficult decision for parents is whether or not to keep your child at home when they are unwell. In reality not every illness requires time away from school, how ever if you keep your child at home it is important to inform usĀ on the first day of your child’s absence.
Here at Harton Primary we ask our parents to use a little common sense when deciding if their child should be absent. The following linksĀ provide aĀ range of information andĀ simple guidelines to adviseĀ parents on the best course of action for a variety of conditions andĀ health related situations such as treatment for head lice, illnessesĀ and absence form school.
