Hi, I am Kirsten from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and the school nurse for your school. I am available to support you (parents/carers) with a range of health issues including fussy eating, sleep, toileting, and growth including under and overweight concerns and healthy lifestyles.

You can also look at our self-help information on the above issues here https://solent-family-assist.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/272

I will be setting up regular clinics every 4-6 weeks for parents to attend and there is a clinic scheduled for 7 May 2026. Please contact senco@portswoodpri.org.uk to book your 30 minute appointment. Please note this appointment will be for seeing parents, I will not be able to see your child at this time.

I look forward to meeting you to discuss any of the following:

• Physical Health concerns related to school absences (not chronic or persistent absenteeism)
• Long term conditions e.g.  asthma, eczema, impacting on schooling
• Support for healthy lifestyles- diet and exercise
• Growth concerns
• Sleep
• Continence i.e. night/day time wetting, soiling, constipation
• Self- care and health literacy

Please remember, we are a nut free school.
