National Allergy Awareness Week 💉

This week, Sandwell School Nursing is recognising National Allergy Awareness Week, highlighting the importance of early and accurate diagnosis of allergies and how this can make a real difference to children and young people.

Allergies can cause symptoms such as skin reactions, swelling, or breathing difficulties. Recognising symptoms early and seeking diagnosis is important to help prevent more serious reactions and ensure children receive the right support at school.

We’re proud to support the work of Allergy UK, the leading charity providing trusted information and support for people living with allergies:
👉 https://www.allergyuk.org

If your child has a diagnosed allergy and attends a Sandwell school, they may require an Allergy Action Plan to help keep them safe in school. If one is not already in place, families can contact Sandwell School Nursing on 📞 0121 612 2974 to discuss whether an action plan is required.

Together, by raising awareness and promoting timely diagnosis, we can help children with allergies stay safe and well at school.

Primary School Offer Day 🎒✏️

Today many families in Sandwell will receive their child’s primary school offer. This is an exciting milestone and a good time to start thinking about school readiness.
Being school ready is about more than learning letters and numbers. It means helping children feel confident, secure and ready to manage everyday school life. Key areas of school readiness include:

✅ Independent self‑care – toilet training, dressing and basic hygiene
✅ Emotional regulation – recognising feelings and beginning to manage them
✅ Effective communication – expressing needs and understanding instructions
✅ Social skills – sharing, turn‑taking and playing with others
✅ Listening and attention – focusing on tasks and following routines
✅ Growing independence – building confidence in new environments
✅ Physical readiness – coordination, stamina and fine motor skills
✅ Healthy routines – sleep patterns and mealtime habits

🩺 Support with school readiness
If you have questions or concerns about your child starting school, support and guidance is available. We can offer information, advice and signposting around school readiness, health and wellbeing to help families feel prepared and confident as their child takes this next step.
Early support can help make the transition to school a positive experience for children and families. 💚

🌼 Spring Wellbeing🌼

As we move further into spring, longer days and brighter weather can give our wellbeing a natural boost ☀️🌿. It’s also a busy time of year for many children and young people, with assessments, exams, and changing routines.

Small steps can support wellbeing:

✅ Get outside for some fresh air
✅ Stay hydrated and eat regular meals
✅ Keep a healthy sleep routine
✅ Share worries with someone you trust

If you or your child need health and emotional wellbeing advice or support, Sandwell School Nursing is here to help. We offer confidential support and guidance throughout the school year.

Today is I Want You to Be Happy Day 😊

At Sandwell School Nursing, we want all young people to be happy and healthy, and to know where to go for support if they need it 💛

Happiness doesn’t have to mean big changes. Small things can make a difference, such as:
• Checking in on a friend 🤝
• Spending time doing something you enjoy 🎨⚽
• Getting outside for fresh air 🌳
• Taking a break from social media 📵
• Talking about how you’re feeling 🗣️
• Doing one small act of kindness 💬

Looking after yourself and supporting others both matter.

If something is worrying you, or you just need advice, we’re here to help!

Yesterday, some members of the Sandwell School Nursing Team had the fantastic opportunity to attend a careers fair at a local primary school to talk all about the role of a School Nurse 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

We had such an enjoyable time meeting the Year 5 and Year 6 children, answering their brilliant questions, and sharing what we do to support children, young people and families across Sandwell. It was wonderful to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm about healthcare careers at such a young age!

Events like this are a great way for us to showcase the wide range of support we provide, highlight the important role school nurses play in supporting health and wellbeing in our community, and hopefully inspire some future nurses along the way. 💙

Every child experiences the world differently 💛

There is no “one way” to think, feel or understand the world 💭

This half term, let’s take time to listen, be patient and create safe spaces for children to be themselves 🧡✨
