As Somerset schools return, September brings both a health warning and a free family day out

Somerset's September return-to-school season has prompted two local responses in the same week: an NHS asthma warning and a free family nature walk at Cheddar Gorge.

The start of the school term is shaping Somerset's local calendar this week, with institutions responding to the seasonal shift in two different ways.

On the health side, a Somerset NHS nurse has warned of the 'September Spike' in asthma cases as children return to school, and urged families to book annual reviews, according to the Somerset County Gazette [2].

The same week, the Youth Hostel Association is offering a free family discovery walk at its Cheddar site on September 17, aimed at helping children explore nature as part of the Festival of Walking, the Weston Mercury reported [1].
