We are proud to announce that we have been accredited as an ‘Asthma Friendly School’ by the NHS. This award has only become available recently but reflects the level of importance we have always put on ensuring children with asthma (or who need an inhaler) have the best available care whilst in school.
All children either with an asthma diagnosis (or with a condition that requires them to have an inhaler, whether temporary or permanent) are required to have an up-to-date care plan in school (renewed every September) and a spare named inhaler and spacer to be kept in their classroom.
Our staff have regular asthma care training.
