The School Nurse

A significant number of our pupils have medical needs which are overseen by the school nurse. Medicals, vision and hearing tests are carried out in school to which parents are invited.
The school nurse maintains regular contact with parents who require it and advises on a number of issues including epilepsy, diabetes, dietary needs, weight and height, puberty, incontinence and head lice.

The school nurse will also liaise with other medical professionals to seek the best advice for families and school staff. She provides and organises training for school staff and advises on policy and procedures in relation to all health care matters.
A number of pupils have Individual Care Plans (ICP) that are written by the school nurse and the family in conjunction with other professionals.
