The school nursing service is made up of a team of health professionals, committed to promoting emotional health and wellbeing of school age children from 4 to 19 years (25 with SEN), in accordance with our Healthy Child Programme. School nurses are registered nurses who have had experience and specialist training in public health. We seek to strengthen the support available to parents and carers to ensure all children lead safe, healthy lives and grow to healthy adulthood.
