“One of the things we want to do here at Astrea Academy Woodfields is to make children feel safe and welcome. To do that, they need to feel well and able to engage with education in the same way as all of the scholars in our school and as someone with a history of asthma as well, I know that can sometimes be difficult.
The Asthma Friendly Accreditation process was really easy thanks to the support of our local NHS colleagues and the training was really informative and supported all of our staff to be in the best position to deliver the new policies that we have put in place.
It's going to make a big difference for these young people who will now feel safer, which we hope will enable them to succeed and thrive during their time in school.”

"We are delighted to have received this accreditation in recognition of Sandringham Primary School's ongoing commitment to providing the best possible care for our pupils. Working towards the accreditation of being an Asthma Friendly school has enabled us to access high-quality training for staff and to benefit from the expertise of our health colleagues."
Mr Metcalfe, Sandringham Primary in Doncaster
Harthill Primary
"The process is really straightforward. And the training really useful. We have found the most beneficial was having the spare inhalers because we've had a few children now in school whose inhalers have either run out or haven't worked properly and we were able to use the emergency inhalers. The children would have struggled if we hadn't done the training."
