School Nurse
Our school nurse is Claire.
Claire no longer holds monthly drop in sessions in school, referrals are done through school and the nurse will arrange to see parents then. All referrals require parental consent and contact number. If you have any concerns about your child and would like a referral made to the school nurse, please make an appointment with the school SENCo via the office or class teacher.
Parents/carers can still contact the school nurse direct via this number:

Pupil Profiles
If children's needs require them to have a pupil profile (pen portrait of the child), the class teacher will consult with parents, pupil profiles are reviewed termly.
