Advice for families & reminder to have regular checks on your child's hair for headlice

Hello #teamblaengwawr, we have been made aware that there are a few cases of headlice across the school and we want to keep you all informed.

Whilst headlice are nothing more than a nuisance, it is important to check your child's hair regularly so they can be dealt with quickly before they spread.

Please can we ask all families to check their children's heads today and continue to do so at regular intervals.

Some advice that may help:
*Check your child's hair at least once a week.
*Use a proper headlice detection comb (with teeth no more than 0.3mm apart). These combs are usually white in colour so headlice can be seen and are available from pharmacies or supermarkets.
*If you find headlice please check all family members and treat with necessary treatments you can purchase from the pharmacy or supermarket.

Further advice on treatment of headlice can be found on the following link:

Thank you all for your co-operation and support with this. Mrs Poole
