Health Centre

All pupils benefit from the School’s onsite Health Centre which is staffed and run by our friendly and qualified nurses. Our nurses are registered with the Nurses and Midwifery Council (NMC) and have worked across a wide variety of areas within nursing.

Our nurses have experience with Accident and Emergency, mental health, paediatrics, surgical and medical nursing, immunisations, travel health and critical care. All of the team are all parents with children themselves and the Health Centre offers a welcoming ‘home from home’ space for pupils when they are unwell. 

 

What we do in the Health Centre

• The Health Centre promotes physical and emotional health and wellbeing of pupils in a nurturing environment.
• We have created a welcoming space that is a ‘home from home’ when pupils are unwell.
• The Health Centre staff work in partnership with parents and pastoral staff to care for your son or daughter when they are unwell.
