Asthma Fit Schools
Is your school Asthma Fit? Our resources are here to support you. Part of the Clean Air Champions programme, supported by the Bupa Foundation.
Being 'asthma fit' means that you are making a commitment to the health and wellbeing of children and young people with asthma at your school.
‘Asthma fit’ is not an accredited award. Our asthma fit resources align with best practice standards and guidance to help you to provide the best support for pupils with asthma and suspected asthma in your school. If your school is working towards an NHS backed ‘Asthma Friendly Schools Award’ our asthma fit resources will help you to meet the standards required to achieve the award.

These resources have been developed by our clinical team to support you - we also host monthly webinars covering a host of topics. You can view the dates and sign up here.
We also have availability to run virtual coffee morning sessions for school staff, governors, parents and carers - contact us to put a date in the diary!
We want to hear what your school is doing to become Asthma Fit - or if you would like further support, to request printed resources or have any questions, get in touch at schools@asthmaandlung.org.uk.
