HEAD LICE

Dear Parents/Carers,Recently, cases of head lice have been identified across the school and we wanted to make sure you were kept informed.

Whilst lice are nothing more than a nuisance, it is important that children are checked on a weekly basis so that any head lice can be dealt with quickly and before they are allowed to spread.

We suggest that you check your child’s head regularly.

Here is some simple advice you may wish to follow to keep head lice at bay.

  • Check your child’s hair once a week.
  • Use a proper detection comb. The comb is usually white in colour so that lice can be easily identified.
  • If you find live lice, visit the Pharmacy where you will be able to access the treatment under the minor ailments scheme and remember to check the whole family.
  • Further advice on the treatment of head lice can be found on NHS website            Head lice and nits – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Makaton Taster Session

The Parental Empowerment group would like to invite all parents/carers to a short Makaton Taster Session on Friday 17th March. The group meet in the parent’s room from 9:15 until 10:30. Tea and coffee are always available and sometimes we even have a biscuit. Please feel free to email me for more information, or if you intend to join us. (Just so i can have enough cups ready)

Hope to see you there,
