School Nurses are qualified registered nurses or midwives with specialist training and experience in public health for children, young people, and families.

School Nurses offer services to school-aged children between the ages of 5 to 19 years old who attend local state schools and some special schools.

The School Nursing Service takes over their care from the Health Visitor at the age of 5.
