Head lice are a normal part of childhood. You should check your child’s hair regularly, ideally once a week. A good way to remember this is...

Once A Week, Take A Peek 👀

Please have a look at the link provided below for advice and information on head lice.

Please see below for more information

Scarlet fever Find out about scarlet fever, including the symptoms, what to do if you or your child has it, how it's treated, how long it lasts and how it's spread.
