Health and Wellbeing

The Primary School Health Portal

School nurses are registered nurses who specialise in public and child health. The team of school nurses, community staff nurses and clinical support workers work closely with children and young people, parents, carers and teachers, promoting health and wellbeing in accordance with our Healthy Child Programme (5 to 19 years).

The link below takes you to the Primary School Health portal which provides contact details and information about what support is available to families through the School Health Service.
