If a child has a temperature below 38 or above 37.5 and has not responded to paracetamol. Please note that paracetamol can only be given if the school has written permission from the parent/carer.

Returning to school following a hospital admission If your child has been admitted to hospital for surgery or illness, please check with the therapy/medical team for advice as some operations will need longer recovery periods than others. School will take advice from the Community Children’s Nurse on whether a pupil is fit and ready to return to school and whether a phased return to school is appropriate.
