Mrs. Watson has implemented a Heartstart Club at lunchtime on Tuesday (12.30 pm – 1 pm) for Year 6 pupils.

 

Heartstart is a national programme, aimed at teaching emergency first aid skills designed to help casualties until emergency services arrive.

 

The course has included teaching pupils how to: call 999 in an emergency, place a casualty in the recovery position, help a person who is experiencing a suspected heart attack, deal with choking and serious bleeding. 

 

The Heartstart Club has equipped the pupils with the necessary skills to aid a casualty in an emergency situation and increase their confidence.
