School Photographs

Tempest photography will be in school on Tuesday 8th May to take class and individual photographs of Reception and Year 6. Get your smiles ready!

Slapped Cheek Syndrome

There have been some cases of children presenting with slapped cheek syndrome in school. Please watch out for symptoms developing in your child and report any confirmed cases to the school office. Symptoms may include:

  • A high temperature of 38°C or more
  • A runny nose and sore throat
  • Headache

You do not need to keep your child off school after the rash appears (it can only be spread before the rash appears). However, if you are pregnant and you know you have been in contact with somebody who has had slapped cheek, please consult with your GP or midwife.
