Absence Procedures Absence due to illness If your child is unable to attend school, please complete the Report Illness form on My School Portal by 8.30am on each morning of absence explaining the reason(s) for absence. The NHS and UKHSA advise that individuals stay home whilst contagious for a number of infectious diseases, and at RGS we ask all members of the community to follow their guidance: • •
•
•
For diarrhoea and/or vomiting, individuals must remain away from school for 48 hours following their last symptoms. For respiratory symptoms, individuals are advised to remain home if they have a fever greater than 38°C, chest/back feels hot to touch and/or their symptoms prevent normal activity. They should only return when these symptoms subside. Covid-19 testing is no longer required, unless advised by a medical professional. If you choose to test your child and they receive a positive result, they must stay home for three full days following the result. They are not advised to test prior to return. For other infectious illnesses, please contact the school office for advice.
We ask that your child stays at home if they have any symptoms which mean they are unable to carry out normal activities. Whilst ill, your child should rest, as this will enable them to recover more quickly. If your child falls ill during the day If your child is unwell during the day at school they must report to the Wellbeing Centre in the first instance where they will be assessed by the school nurse/first aider. Parents will be telephoned if necessary. Absence for routine appointments If you need to request absence for routine appointments please use the Request Absence Form on My School Portal. If your child is signing out during the course of the school day, they must do so at the Wellbeing Centre and they must sign back in at the Wellbeing Centre when they return to school.
