Please check your child's hair for headlice. Current guidance shared with school is that we do NOT send letters informing parents/carers of headlice as this previously led to overtreatment. School has guidance on headlice and nits, sharing - when a member of school staff suspects that a child has head lice: * If the child has live lice or nits, the parents/carers will be informed, where possible by telephone and asked to treat their child after school. * Children with head lice or nits will not be identified to other children or parents/carers as having head lice to respect the child’s privacy. * Children will be allowed to return to school after treatment. * Parents/carers will not routinely be notified of headlice, as this has previously led to parents over treating their child/ren.
