We have worked with academics and schools to ensure our resources are based on the latest evidence, and are as accessible and practical as possible for busy teachers to use.

 

The most useful resource to help you tackle air pollution is the Clean Air for Schools Framework. Fill in a short survey describing your school’s context to receive a tailored action plan with expert resources on tackling dirty air.

 

The plan will cover areas like reducing traffic-based pollution around your school, improving heating and ventilation systems within your school, and educational resources around air quality for your pupils.

 

For additional teaching resources, assembly packs, social media resources and much more, take a look at Clean Air Day.
