A bolt of lightening has injured a teacher and at least six children in Tamworth, in northwest New South Wales.

A New South Wales Ambulance spokeswoman says lightning struck a tree, severing a branch which struck a woman on the head.

Six children aged between 13 and 15 suffered flash burn, which is a painful inflammation of the cornea when a person's eyes are exposed to bright ultraviolet light and they were taken to Tamworth Base Hospital.

Eight other children present at the scene did not appear to be injured but attended the same hospital for observation.
