First Aid
Schools must teach pupils how to respond in common emergency situations and how to seek help appropriately.
For primary pupils, the guidance expects children to know:
- how to make a clear and efficient call to emergency services if necessary
- concepts of basic first aid
- how to deal with common injuries
- how to respond to head injuries
- how to respond to choking
- how to respond to bleeding
- how to respond to burns
- how to keep themselves and others safe whilst seeking help
This will consist of an hour and a half session at least once termly during each year group's forest days following their own medium term plan to build up these vital skills progressively each term. Please continue to follow this page to see how the children's skills build up as they progress through their KS2 journey.
Year 3:
During the Autumn term, year 3 have learnt about why first aid is important, how to treat a head injury and how to call for help using 999 or 111.
During the Spring term, year 3 have revisited how to treat a head injury and understand the steps that they need to take in order to treat someone that has suffered from a head injury even when they are on their own with no grown-ups!
