For more information regarding illnesses and the length of time a child needs to be away from school please refer to the **[Guidance document](https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/is-my-child-too-ill-for-school/#:~:text=It's%20fine%20to%20send%20your,school%20until%20the%20fever%20goes.)** provided by the NHS.
