To book, simply email your preferred session date and time to kchft.schoolhealthplan@nhs.net.

How it works

Schools will need to collect and submit anonymous questions from their pupils around puberty to the School Health Service - kchft.schoolhealthplan@nhs.net - prior to the session. Appropriate questions will then be responded to by a school nurse in an age appropriate manner.

Please ensure that your pupils’ questions are submitted no later than one week prior to the session you have booked to attend. You will be sent a reminder about this in good time.

We are only able to answer questions around puberty and not sex. This is because we will be hosting a range of schools, some of whom will only be teaching the statutory puberty aspect and not the optional sex aspect, we won’t be able to answer anything that is not around puberty.

The 2024/25 Programme of training and support will be published soon. Please contact us on kchft.schoolhealthplan@nhs.net if you have any queries or need any support.

On Tuesday, 23 July and Monday, 2 September, on the hour every hour from 10am to 4pm we are hosting a 15minute webinar to schools outlining the universal support offer to schools from Children’s Integrated Therapy and Equipment Service and School Health Service, including how to access our suite of free online training. Whether you’ll use this as part of your INSET training or as a backdrop to classroom-based INSET activities we hope the short information giving webinar will be useful for teaching and non-teaching staff in schools in East Sussex.
