Asthma Register

We recognise that asthma is a widespread, serious, but controllable condition. This school welcomes all pupils with asthma and aims to support these children in participating fully in school life.

Asthma Register

We have an asthma register of children within the school, which we update yearly. We do this by asking parents/carers if their child is diagnosed as asthmatic or has been prescribed a reliever inhaler. When parents/carers have confirmed that their child is asthmatic or has been prescribed a reliever inhaler we ensure that the pupil has been added to the asthma register and has:
  • an up-to-date copy of their individual asthma action plan,
  • their reliever (salbutamol/terbutaline) inhaler in school,
  • permission from the parents/carers to use the emergency salbutamol inhaler if they require it and their own inhaler is broken, out of date, empty or has been lost. 
Please ensure that you have given the inhaler to their class teacher, signed and returned the individual asthma action plan forms. If you have not received a form please enquire at the main office.


Thank you
