Optician Appointments The school nurse would like to advise parents that if they have concerns about their child’s sight they can make an appointment to see a local optician as this is a free service for children and more comprehensive than the eye test she would be able to do. If you have concerns about your child’s hearing please let the school office know as soon as possible and the nurse will arrange a test for your child sometime in the next two weeks.
