PRIMARY SCHOOL COURSES

Our first aid for primary school awards are aimed at fulfilling the national curriculum PSHE strand of first aid.


Children take part in hands on first aid sessions with experienced instructors. The session is delivered through fun, hands-on activities. 
All equipment is supplied, and children will receive first aid certificates after training.

Courses available, include:
Mini Medics 
Years 5 and 6
The mini medics session introduces children to basic first aid skills. 

Children will engage in practical activities to learn various first aid techniques, including when and how to give CPR and use a defibrillator. The session also covers how to help people who are experiencing choking, bleeding, head injuries, and other medical issues. 

This training provides an additional educational experience as children complete their primary school years and aims to equip them with basic knowledge and practical confidence in first aid.

First Aid Awards & CPR

Children also have the unique opportunity to see a defibrillator in action and ask questions, deepening their understanding of this vital device.
