Swine Flu
As you will be aware from the letter sent out to you in July, we have had a small number of swine flu cases reported to us.
The current Health Protection advice to schools is that there would be no benefit in closing the school, given the spread in the wider community.
We would, however, be appreciative if you could talk to your child about the importance of maintaining good personal hygiene.
There is some excellent advice on the Health Protection Agency’s website www.hpa.org.uk and I enclose an extract below.
The most important measures are to keep symptomatic children out of school (preferably isolated at home), and to maintain good hygiene practices:
- Covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, using a tissue when possible.
- Disposing of dirty tissues promptly and carefully.
- Washing your hands frequently with soap and water to reduce the spread of the virus from your hands to your face or to other people.
- Cleaning hard surfaces (such as door handles) frequently using a normal cleaning product.
- Making sure your children follow this advice.
Please do not send your child to school if they display symptoms of flu. These are:
- Fever, usually of 38°C or above, plus two of the following symptoms
- Headache
- Respiratory symptoms such as cough or runny nose
- Muscle aches and pains
- Vomiting/diarrhoea
