Public Health England letter about winter illness

At this time of year it is not unusual for schools across the region to see an increase in winter illnesses such as diarrhoea/vomiting and flu-like illness.

Please take a moment to read the following information and guidance for parents and carers regarding winter illness, issued by the Yorkshire & Humber Health Protection Team of Public Health England*. We would ask parents and carers to pay particular attention to the requirement that children who are affected by diarrhoea and vomiting should stay off school until at least 48 hours after they last had diarrhoea or vomiting.

The return of the cake sale!

Friends of Fishergate are delighted to announce that the Autumn term brings the return to the lower hall of the fabulous Fishergate cake sale! We’d really appreciate if parents and carers could bring a contribution (no nuts please!) – or lend a hand with the selling!

Year 1&2 will get the ball rolling on the 18th of October, then Year 3&4 will be next to step up to the plate – or possibly the cake stand – on the 8th of November. Keep an eye on the school calendar and newsletters for dates.
