Parent/Carer information on Group Strep A and Scarlet Fever

8 December 2022 (by Jayne Elliot (jayne elliot))

This evening I have attended a briefing from the UK Health Security Agency and Wakefield Public Health Team. They have issued a letter to provide advice for parents and carers on symptoms and treatments for suspected and confirmed cases of Group Strep A (GAS) and Scarlet Fever for schools.

Follow the link below to our school website to read the letter.

Please take time to read this letter carefully and follow the advice. In school, we shall continue to ensure good hygiene such as hand washing and using tissues. 

If we have 2 or more confirmed cases in school I shall let you know using the school APP. 

Kind regards, 


Mrs Elliott.
