Headlice warning!

26 March 2026 (by clare.moulding)

Good afternoon,

We have had a number of reported incidents of headlice across school over the last week - could I please ask you to be vigilant at checking your child's hair and make school aware should you notice any. 

Can I please suggest that pupils who have longer hair, wear it in a ponytail at the moment as that reduces the likelihood of spreading between friends! 

If you do notice your child has headlice, please ensure they and the rest of the family are treated to ensure we can eliminate them from school once again. 

Thank you for your anticipated support.
