Head Lice

It has come to our attention that several pupils in the school are suffering with head lice which is being treating. However, we need to ask all parents of pupils to check their child’s and siblings’ hair for head lice and eggs and to treat as necessary. Please also continue to check each week for 3 weeks as this problem relies on everyone’s vigilance to be eradicated. Treatment is by  Wet combing – this is a method of removing lice with the regular use of a fine-toothed comb (the teeth of the comb must be 0.2 to 0.3mm apart). You need to comb through the entire head of washed hair (generously covered in conditioner) every four days for at least two weeks. It’s important that you keep doing this until there have been three consecutive sessions without seeing any lice

 Medicated lotion or spray is an alternative method for treating head lice. However, no medicated treatment is 100% effective. Your pharmacist will be able to recommend an over- the-counter lotion or spray

Thank you for your cooperation, From the school nurses
