This half term, all students are taking part in a practical Emergency First Aid workshop led by our PE team and healthcare assistant. They’re learning four vital, life-saving skills: CPR, using a defibrillator, using an autoinjector and putting someone in the recovery position.

We’ve invested in new training AEDs because, sadly, members of our school community have needed emergency treatment in the past. These sessions could one day help save a life.

We now want to go one step further.

We’re fundraising for a 24/7 public-access defibrillator at the Moor Gate entrance, a busy area used daily by local sports teams and walkers. We’re close to our target, but we need your help.

Donate via ParentPay, or send £1 with your child on their PE day:

• Years 7–10: week beginning 24th November

• Year 11: week beginning 15th December
