The Dangers of Swimming in Open Water

We have a number of students who have become ill over the weekend with symptoms of sickness, high temperature, headache and a rash. It has been determined that this is as a result of them swimming in contaminated waters in Beeley Woods on Friday. Please speak to your children and emphasise the dangers of open water swimming.

Please see the parental letter and the following links which give advice about going into the water and the sickness which may result from it.
