First Aid in Schools

Learning first aid is an invaluable life-skill. For children this can could help them to become more risk aware, and develop the skills and confidence to keep themselves safe and help themselves or others if involved in a medical emergency.

From September 2020, all state-funded schools in England will be required to teach first aid as part of Health Education for all Key Stages. This will include basic first aid skills for common injuries.

Primary school pupils will be required to learn how:

• To make a clear and efficient call to emergency services
• The concepts of basic first aid, for example dealing with common injuries including head injuries

Secondary school pupils will need to know:

• Common Injuries Practice session – Wound dressings and Bandaging
• Lifesaving skills/Primary survey (DRAB) 
• Secondary survey including Recovery position including practice 
• CPR including practice 
• Chain of survival 
• AED (The purpose of an AED and when one might be used)

Our lessons have been designed to implement the training in a fun and engaging manner, using hands on experiences and equipment, whilst supporting teaching first aid as part of health education.

We are a team of First Aid specialists, and offer training for Staff, Parents and Pupils in your environment and working around your school timings or even after school. We can tailor our programmes to suit your school and pupils needs and work within your budget.

Our prices start from as little as £3 per child, for Primary aged children, attending a 30 to 40 minute lesson, which is suitable for their age and stage of development. For Secondary aged children prices start from £15.00 per child, attending a 2 hour lesson, to meet the curriculum requirements for this age group.

Prices are based based one class with a maximum class size of 30, but we can also arrange discounts if multiple classes or courses are booked
