First Aid (as part of our curriculum)

Children at Round Hill, from the early part of their education, will be taught basic first aid and how to support their health and wellbeing. As children grow older the curriculum will expand to teach life saving techniques.

These lessons will form art of the RSE lessons which take place in the summer term.

Children have the opportunity to become First Aid Champions using activities from the following modules:

First aid skills – learn and practise eight first aid skills relevant to children
Kindness and coping – learn and practise how to help others and keep calm
Safety – learn and practise how to stay safe while helping others
Explore ideas for children to share their learning with others.
