Health check-ups

Health check-ups are performed to assess pupils' overall health. Health check-ups are performed at key ages in children's and adolescents' development and schooling.

Parents are expected to attend the first health check-up in preschool education. The health check-up encompasses:

• clinical aspects;
• psychological and academic aspects;
• personalised advice in the field of health education.

The health check-up includes:

• routine testing, screening and measurements, such as height, weight, vision, hearing, vaccinations, and a urine test;
• children's medical histories, to gather information on pupils' health from their parents, persons with parental authority, or pupils themselves;
• a medical examination conducted by the doctor from the school medical and social support team;
• a social assessment, to collect information on pupils' social circumstances with a view to detecting potential issues.
