School nurses are qualified nurses, many with post registration additional training, which specifically relates to the needs of children aged 4 to 19 years. The school nurse is the key health worker in schools and is in a unique position to identify early problems, which may affect the health and development of school aged children or prevent children reaching their full academic potential. Each school in Brent has a named school nurse with whom parents, children and education staff can discuss any concerns.
The school nurse aims to visit her named schools regularly each week and can be contacted there during school hours or at the clinic base at other times.
