Thanks to the British Heart Foundation’s Nation of Lifesavers campaign, we acquired our own CPR Kit in 2016 and since then every student has been given the opportunity to learn vital skills and have the confidence to be able to cope in a cardiac emergency.

Students learn vital information of how to stay safe and how to keep others safe, including how to potentially save a life through the administration of CPR,  through the Personal Development programme including Personal Development events and PSHE lessons.

Alongside the CPR, during Personal Development Days, we have also introduced basic First Aid skills for all our students, which include, for example, how to help with an asthma attack, severe allergic reactions and how to place someone in the recovery position.
