We are looking forward to a normal school week from Monday 14th December. All well pupils have been advised to return to school as normal on Sunday evening. Pupils who have had the sickness bug, but have been well for 48 hours, are also advised to return. Pupils who are unwell or who have been in recovery for less than 48 hours should not return.
Update (3.30pm 9th December)
Mary Hare is grateful to the agencies who are supporting our work in looking after the children who have gone down with the sickness bug. Their advice to the school is that the sick children are being looked after to a very high standard and the rest of the children are benefitting from the stringent measures that staff are taking to ensure that the infection does not spread.
The school will be writing to all families tomorrow (Thursday 10th December) to ensure they are kept up to date and currently the school expects the issue to be completely resolved by the beginning of next week.
WEDNESDAY 9TH DECEMBER 2009 - NOTE TO ALL MARY HARE SCHOOL PARENTS
A significant number of our pupils have a sickness bug and we have taken advice from appropriate agencies. We are in contact with the families whose children are ill and trying to get them home.
Sadly, we have decided to cancel all performances of the Christmas production, as we have been advised to keep boarders from different houses apart, for the time being.
Ticket holders will receive a letter from Arlington Arts Centre.I would reassure parents that while unpleasant, the bug is not causing serious illness.
