NHS England, who oversee the NHS, have committed to transforming eye care and vision for children and young people in special schools in England by delivering a free, eye examination on the school premises which will include the supply and fitting of 2 pairs of glasses for every child who needs them.  Please watch this short service information film.

Research has shown that children with a learning disability and/or autism are 28x more likely to experience challenges with sight and eye health.  

Despite this greater need, most children have to attend a hospital eye department for routine services and over 40% have no history of eye care provision.

The service will be coming to Woodfield to check pupils.

Please review the information NHS Special School Eye Care Service - School Service Information document below for full details.

These documents have been sent home with all pupils on Friday 25th February. If you need a copy, download and print or if you have any questions, please contact the office.
