Information for Teachers
We are inviting 10 London primary schools to join the CHERISH study
What will participation involve?
- Two lessons: one PE lesson from West Ham Football club, and one science lesson from Centre of the Cell.
- A team of researchers, all with DBS checks will visit the school to carry out breathing tests and nasal rinse samples with participating pupils.
- Lessons will be led by trained coaches and kept to safe, moderate exercise (similar to regular PE).
- Researchers will minimise disruption: all activities will be scheduled in consultation with school staff.
Benefits for schools
- Free air quality workshops and PE lessons for pupils, using real-time data
- Contribution to important evidence on children’s health and pollution, with results shared with schools.
- Opportunity for pupils to learn more about science, health, and the environment.
