School Nurse

Our pupils are supported through a school nursing service provided by CSH Surrey, which is contracted by the NHS.  The school nurses work as part of a wider 0-19 years Children and Families Service at CSH Surrey. 

Their skilled teams are committed to supporting the health, development and wellbeing of all those aged between 0-19 years and work within a range of settings including schools and nurseries.

The 0-19 Team is comprised of; specialist practitioner school nurses and health visitors, staff nurses, nursery nurses and community health assistants.

Therapy such as speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists may also see children with specific needs.

The school nursing team provide:

  • Health screening 
  • Health education as part of the school curriculum: for example, healthy life style choices
  • Advice, support and referral to specialist services such as Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy
  • School staff training on a range of medical issues for example, use of Adrenaline Auto Injectors for children with allergies and asthma management
