🐛 Threadworm Cases in School

To all families

It has been brought to our attention that we may have cases of threadworm in school. It isn’t usually serious, but as you can see below it is not very pleasant to have.

Further information can be found by visiting the NHS website using this link https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/threadworms/

Threadworms are common but are not usually serious. Threadworms infect the gut and lay eggs around your anus which causes itch. Treatment usually includes me...

If your child is infected, then please get the relevant advice and treatment necessary by visiting your local chemist. You do not need to visit your GP. Threadworm doesn’t require children to have time off school but treatment must be started immediately. 

Please note that this is highly contagious and if a member of your family does have them then the whole family needs to be treated even if you aren’t displaying symptoms.

Thank you very much for your support in this matter.
