🎉 Celebrating the team at in Durham.

We had the absolute pleasure of spending two days with the exceptional team at Elemore Hall School updating their outdoor first aid qualification and we came away truly inspired.

From start to finish, the knowledge and confidence shown by everyone we met was outstanding. It’s clear this is a team that’s not only highly professional but also deeply passionate about making a lasting difference in the lives of young people.

It was a privilege to learn more about the school and the amazing work being done to support and empower students. The tour of the vegetable and sensory garden was a real highlight—and meeting Lucy the baby owl was the perfect way to top it all off!

🌟 Special congratulations to the team for successfully completing their Level 3 Outdoor First Aid qualification! Your commitment to student safety and well-being in every environment is truly commendable.

👏 Huge thank you to our amazing first aid instructors, Philippa Boynton and Paul Freeman for sharing their expertise and knowledge and making it an engaging and memorable training course.

👏 Huge thanks to everyone at Elemore Hall for the warm welcome and for the meaningful, life-changing work you do every day.

What an amazing achievement Uddingston Grammar School in Glasgow with 117 year S6 students all completing their Level 6 in Emergency First Aid at Work.

This is a great life skill with so many young people now trained in life-saving first aid in your school and wider community. The students made amazing progress throughout the courses and demonstrated high levels of skills and confidence when applying what they had learnt.

This level 6 qualification is also a great addition to your students’ CVs and university applications, giving them more opportunities when they leave school.

How did we ensure this was affordable and in budget for the school? We trained highly skilled and experienced teachers to work with us to deliver their own first aid qualifications in-house. With our continued support, the school save money on their training budgets without compromising on quality.

What an amazing success this was and we are looking forward to training more teachers in schools.
