Dear Parent / Guardian,

Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to limit the amount of sickness in school. Unfortunately, as has been documented in the press, this is the time of year for various germs and bugs to appear and, due to the nature of school, they can spread quickly in the classroom. I have spoken to both the Education Authority and the Public Health Agency and their advice remains the same as our own, should your child be exhibiting any symptoms of illness it is imperative that you please take the cautious approach and follow the recommendations on the link below:

Mr Moore

Principal
