Our aim is to support and promote healthy lifestyles for children and young people aged 2 to 19 at the school
Personalised health care plans – we help children and young people develop their own health care plans
We work closely with young people, their families and carers, other school staff, healthcare professionals, and the Knowsley Children with Disabilities Team, as well as private and voluntary agencies to make sure the needs of young people are met.
