It seems head lice are doing the rounds at school - apparently common at this time of year. Please can you help us by regularly checking your child’s hair and following the recommendations below.

Head lice are very common in the community and we have noticed that some students have head lice at the moment.

Please read the attached Information Sheet below. It is important that you check your child’s hair, and treat for head lice if required, to help prevent head lice spreading.

Check the hair of every member of the household. If you find live head lice on anyone, treat them as well. Do not treat everyone “just in case”.

It is a good idea to wash hair ties and hair brushes but you do not need to wash bedding or pillows.

Thanks for your help!
