School Nurses

To all parents and carers, we hope you are all well and keeping safe during these unusual times. We would just like to let you know that the school nursing service is still running and can provide advice on any matters relating to physical or mental health. There won’t be a school nurse based at the school every day but there will always be one of us that is contactable by telephone.
