We will be having our Termly Bug Buster fortnight starting 01 June with information going out to parents and carers. This academic year everyone’s hard work has helped dramatically reduce the number of cases in the school.
We have been approached by the BBC1 TV Programme “Inside Out” who are researching a programme of Head Lice and how affective the treatments currently on the market are. They are looking for families to take part in the programme who are affected by an outbreak of nits, this would just be a small amount of filming with the family. They would of course, provide free treatment for the child for taking part in the programme.
If you or a family member are affected by head Lice and would like to take part in the programme please email lisa.vickery@bbc.co.uk. Filming will take place over the next couple of weeks. The programme will be aired in the Autumn on BBC1
Many thanks for your help in advance
We are currently dealing with a relentless reoccurrence of Head Lice amongst pupils which both parents and children are finding frustrating. In order to crack the problem it is essential that we have the full support of all families. If you find your child has head lice it is essential that you treat all the family.
The only way to confirm a head louse infection is to find a live moving louse on the head, and the best way to do that is to use a good detection method. ‘Detection Combing’ is thought to be one of the best detection methods, it is described in detail here and will take about 20 minutes.
