The School Nursing team provides services in a variety of places such as schools, in family hubs, and at home where needed. They also provide online appointments and a text messaging service for young people. 


The team is made up of:
  • School nurses (Specialist Community Public Health Nurses)
  • Staff nurses
  • Community nursery nurses
  • Healthcare support workers
  • Family support workers
The team works across the district with all children aged 5-19 years old and their families.

They can be contacted by phone on 01274 221203.

Secondary school pupils can go to school nurse drop-in sessions at school, where they can get confidential support for any health and wellbeing issues. Parents/carers of primary school-aged children can meet the School Nursing team at drop-in sessions at the local family hubs. The service offers advice on health and wellbeing issues and will direct people to other services if they are needed.

The service now has family support workers, who work closely with a number of schools across the district as part of a coordinated approach that brings multiple services together to support children, young people and their families.
