Head Lice
A number of parents have contacted us about children having occurring bouts of head lice. The only way to get rid of head lice in schools is for ALL parents to regularly check and treat their children’s hair.
Please check and treat children’s hair over the Easter break so that all children return head lice free. If a child has hair of any length it should be tied back at every opportunity. This will also stop the spread of head lice.
For more information on the treatment of head lice please follow this link to the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/...
School Meal Price Increase
We have been informed by Lancashire Catering Service that the price of school meals will go up by 10p from 15th April. Therefore, when we return after the Easter Break, school meals will be £2.50 per day. Please ensure any outstanding balances are cleared by Friday 12th April and accounts are topped up prior to your child having a school dinner.
