Child Sickness
If your child is absent due to illness, you should notify the office by 9.00am. You should notify the school everyday your child is absent due to illness to avoid an unauthorised absence being recorded in the register.
Vomiting and Diarrhoea
- Children must not return to school within 48 hours of the LAST episode of sickness/diarrhoea.
We are pleased to announce that Broomgrove Junior School is introducing a new, more efficient and secure system for reporting your child’s absence due to illness, called Studybugs.
If you haven’t already, please get the free Studybugs app, or register on the Studybugs website, and use it to tell us whenever your child is ill and unable to attend school.
Top 3 reasons to use Studybugs:
- It helps us to know sooner if your child is unaccounted for.
- It is quick and easy to register and use and automatically reminds you to keep us posted.
- You will be helping the NHS and other public health organisations improve children’s health (https://studybugs.com/about/schools)

Guidance on Infection Control in Schools
In September 2014 Public Health England updated their Guidance on Infection Control in Schools and other Childcare Settings. A key recommendation in this document, which schools have been instructed by Essex County Council to follow, is that children should be kept off school for a period of 48 hours from the last episode of vomiting or diarrhoea. We realise that this will have an impact on you as parents, as well as our attendance figures, but we are required to abide by this recommendation.
