We have had a number of cases of head lice in school. Could I ask parents to be extra vigilant when combing or brushing your child’s hair. A letter will go out today with information on how to spot and treat Head Lice (a copy is available in our ‘Parent Letters’ section of our school website.) A head lice comb is best for catching head lice.
Because head lice are passed on through hair to hair contact, could I also remind parents that pupils with long hair should have their hair tied back with a bobble or clip.
If you require any further information please check out the NHS website,
