If your child has a mild like cold are we just sending them into school?

[User47484739478474]

I do not send my children into school if visibly poorly or very unwell. I wouldn't want them to spread it.

what if your dc have a slight runny nose and sniffles?

I feel like I've lost all sense of what to do since covid 😅

it is ds, 11, year 7. He very rarely gets ill, the last time he got ill was last December and he actually had covid!

colds can go either way for him. They will either make him feel quite rough for a week or more or literally last a day or two.

the worst part of DS having s cold is that he will always end up with annoying tickly cough right at the end that lasts week weeks!

at least he's got an extra day off before going back on tuesday!

My Y8 daughter has a cold, so does half of my Y10 form and me. We've all been in though. Same every September!

My kids school have been clear for a while now they are to come in unless they are genuinely too unwell to come in/ have a temperature/ have D & V.

We are still testing when symptomatic and would keep off if it was covid. When they have had non covid colds and coughs I've kept them home for the first few days to get over the worst and sent them in when they felt up to it.
