Schools
Our programme can be divided across a number of weeks or delivered in a one day enrichment programme / PSHE project related to first aid in schools. These first aid awards are aimed at all age groups across primary and secondary schools. All the content is delivered by fully qualified first aid instructors who have delivered first aid in schools for the last 10 years. Our instructors will deliver first class first aid training to school children and use their years of experience in the classroom to ensure pupils are fully engaged and motivated to learn during these sessions.
"The quality of the courses and the trainers leading this were exceptional, the children remained engaged from start to finish. feedback from parents was excellent as pupils could not stop talking about it and showing their newly learnt skills. We will definitely be inviting you back again!" Mrs Swinton, Deputy Head.
Primary School First Aid
We believe in the value of teaching first aid to school children from an early age.
Our provision is for ALL school children regardless of age or stage. We aim to provide first aid sessions that inspire school children and reduce any potential fear when dealing with an emergency situation.
We believe first aid in primary schools should be regular and differentiated.
our options allow different approaches to teaching first aid in schools, if these do not meet your needs then please feel to call and discuss other options. Option 1:
- Integrate our sessions into your curriculum and give every student the opportunity to learn key first aid skills every year.
- We deliver our ‘hands on’ CPR experience across the school and support this with key, relevant topics such as; calling for an ambulance, burns, bleeding, choking, head injuries as well as common conditions such as asthma and anaphylaxis.
- The content for each year is different and students receive a certificate upon completing our First Aid for schools workshop. These are delivered to classes of approximately 30 pupils lasting a minimum of an hour per session.
Option 2:
- Our bronze, silver and gold lifesaving awards offer varied training at three stages of primary education (Y1/2, Y3/4, Y5/6).
- These sessions last approximately 2 hours and can cater for 30 pupils. This allows for quality and depth over a range of first aid activities.
- Our most popular package is First aid training to year 2, year 4 and year 6 children which can be delivered in 1 day by either one or two instructors depending on numbers and then an annual visit allows pupils to experience 3 high quality, fun and engaging activity sessions during their primary education.
Our first aid for schools programme covers most of the UK and has gained huge success from a range of educational settings.

“Thank you so much for the first aid training you gave to our pupils last week. The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience and they were all so confident to talk to me about it afterwards. The differentiated activities were ideal and resulted in engagement from all pupils. We will be in touch next year.”
Davina Sumner Head Teacher, Willow Primary School, Doncaster
“Brilliant first aid sessions delivered in a fun and engaging way. We have been inundated from parents saying how good this was.”
Matt Loader Head Teacher St Giles Primary School, Sheffield
“I thought the day for our children was fantastic. It gave the children confidence to use a basic level of first aid anywhere in the community. I feel it empowered them to feel they could make a difference and although they are children, they are able to save a life. The day was interactive and you as instructors made the learning fun and accessible to all. Children were even role playing scenarios on the playground, rehearsing their new skills.
We will definitely be inviting you back again!
Thanks again”
