Each therapy session lasts 50 minutes and sessions take place once a week during lesson time. The service is open to students from all year groups, including sixth form.

The School Nurse
Our school nurse works at PHS on Mondays and Tuesdays. School Nurses provide a range of services that promote the good health and wellbeing of school aged children and young people. School Nurses support schools to ensure that children and young people with disabilities or long term medical conditions (eg. asthma, diabetes epilepsy, allergies) have access to their education and reach their full learning potential. School Nurses are also able to signpost children and young people into additional specialist services to ensure that they receive the health care they need and provide confidential advice concerning young people’s health issues.
