Year 12 students Samantha S and Jack L successfully completed the potentially life-saving training.

Last term, 40 of our Sixth Form students successfully completed First Aid Training in an initiative organised by Dawn Hindmarch, our Health and Wellbeing Co-ordinator. This recognised qualification is highly valued by both universities and potential employers.

In the sessions, students learned how to assess and treat minor injuries including open wounds and burns, alongside potentially life-saving CPR techniques. Following the training, which we provided free for our Sixth Formers, students received a certificate as evidence of achieving this valuable new addition to their CV. Many commented that they now feel more confident and able to deal with emergencies should they arise. We would like to thank 'Help! First Aid Training' for delivering the sessions.
