Dear Parents / Carers,

As the colder weather begins to set in, please ensure that your child comes to school each day with a warm, waterproof coat. Many children spend time outdoors before school, during breaks and at lunchtime, and appropriate clothing helps them stay warm and comfortable throughout the day.

We would also like to remind families that while colds and seasonal illnesses are common at this time of year, there are several simple ways to help support children's immune systems:

  • Encourage a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
  • Ensure your child gets enough sleep each night.
  • Promote good handwashing habits, especially before eating and after using the toilet.
  • Encourage regular physical activity.
  • Ensure your child stays hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
  • Keep up to date with any recommended vaccinations.


By working together, we can help keep our children healthy, comfortable and ready to learn.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,
Attendance Team
