    Health & Safety Update - Oak Processionary Moth Infestation

    4 July 2023 (by Amy Salsbury (admin))

    FAO - WHOLE SCHOOL

    An important email has been sent out to all parents / carers regarding an infestation of Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) affecting our oak trees.  The caterpillars can cause allergic reactions and therefore it is important that you read the information that has been sent to familiarise yourself with any potential risk whilst both at school and out and about in the local community.

    The email contains more detail and a leaflet with further information which I urge you all to review.  https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/2022/02/opm_leaflet_2020.pdf
