• Sun Safety

  Thu 25 May 2023 S Lawton

  It is important that parents, staff and pupils work together to ensure that we can all enjoy the sun safely over the summer months. The sun’s rays are particularly strong over the summer and they can damage children’s skin. Dehydration and over-exposure to sunlight can cause huge health worries which we would like to avoid.  Your child’s health and wellbeing are very important to us and sun safety is something that we take seriously at Pelsall Village.

  Your support is very important.  You can help by:

  •              Talking to your child about the importance of sun protection at home.

  •              Sending your child into school with a named sunhat. 

  •              Applying a high factor sun cream to your child before sending them to school.  We recommend you use an ‘all day’ variety as staff are unable to reapply sun cream to children during the school day.  However, if your child needs to reapply and is able to do so themselves they can bring in clearly labelled sun cream to reapply themselves at the beginning of lunchtime.

  •              Ensuring your child brings a water bottle to school and encourage them to        drink plenty of water – we will remind them too!

  Why is sun protection important for children and young people?

  The number of cases of malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer is rising at an alarming rate.  The good news is that the majority of these cases could be prevented.  Most skin cancers are caused by too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.  If we protect ourselves from overexposure to the sun then we can reduce our risk. This is particularly important for children and young people whose skin is more delicate and easily damaged.

  What about vitamin D?

  We all need some sun to make enough vitamin D.  Enjoying the sun safely, while taking care not to burn, should help most people get a good balance without raising the risk of skin cancer. For more information on vitamin D, visit the SunSmart website:
