SUN PROTECTION
Now the summer term has started I wanted to remind you about our Sun Protection policy. The sun’s rays are particularly strong in the summer and they can damage children’s skin, which can sadly lead to skin cancer in later life.
Your child’s health and well-being are very important to us, which is why we:
* spend time learning about the importance of sun protection;
* encourage pupils to wear hats when outside and to use sunscreen;
* encourage pupils to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
More details of these and other sun protection plans can be found in our Sun Protection policy. Of course, your support is very important if we are to make this work.
You can help by:
* talking to your child about the importance of sun protection at home;
* applying a minimum factor 15 sunscreen to your child’s face, neck, arms and legs
(if exposed) before they leave home, in order to safeguard them through the day;
* always sending your child to school in a hat (preferably with a wide brim);
* ensuring your child brings in a water bottle (with a sports cap).
