We realise that there are lots of winter illnesses around at the moment.

It can be tricky at times knowing when to keep your child off from the ECC.

If your child is unwell and absent from the ECC, please call the main office on 01560 600403. There is also a function on the Safer Schools Scotland App to report an absence.

When informing us of your child’s absence we would really appreciate you giving a reason for their absence, e.g. a high temperature, sickness, an unsettled night or a planned holiday.

This allows us to monitor outbreaks of illness, complete more stringent cleaning processes to minimise the spread of infection and to monitor others if they are feeling unwell.

Thank you for your continued support.
