Skills for Life

 Restart a Heart Day

Today the whole school took part in the international Restart a Heart Day.  Students and staff joined an online stream presentation by the crew from the Kent Surrey & Sussex air ambulance team, to learn invaluable life-saving skills.

They saw the day to day work of the crew and were supported to understand the benefit of of using CPR and a defibrillator. There was also the opportunity to practice on a rolled up blazer.

Every child, in every class across the school participated, 1500 students.  One parent emailed in fully supporting the initiative, following a personal experience.

Thank you to Mrs Sigrist for arranging the event and to all the staff and students who look part.
