In addition to tutorial support, our Student Liaison Officer provides a dedicated service for students, assisting with banking arrangements, flights and general information, as well as offering invaluable emotional support. Occasionally, there may be an issue that a student prefers to discuss in complete confidentiality and this is offered by the School Counsellor. Finally, our School Nurse is available to attend to any students who are unwell, or who may need to discuss any health issues. All boarders are registered with a local NHS medical centre that is adjacent to the Queen’s Building.

This information is vital if the students do have any medical issues but it can also be useful for general health as the nurse will see if students are eligible for any vaccinations i.e. flu and will book them in at the local surgery. So we strongly advise you to make full use of this service and provide as much information as possible on your form.

Furthermore, the nurse will escort all under 16 students or at their request over 16’s to the doctors or for a hospital appointment. Either age group then have the right to take the appointment alone, as the nurse will always respect a student’s right to confidentiality and privacy.
