First Aid Information
Some of the school staff are trained in first aid. The first aider's responsibilities are clearly defined. They are as follows:
- To assess a situation quickly and safely, and summon appropriate help;
- To protect casualties and others at the scene from possible danger;
- To identify, as far as possible, the injury or nature of the illness affecting a casualty;
- To give each casualty early and approriate treatment, treating the most serious conditions first;
- To arrange for the casualty's removal to hospital, into the care of a doctor or to their home as necessary;
- If medical aid is needed, to remain with a casualty until further care is available;
- To report any observations to those taking over care of the casualty, and to give further assistance if required;
- To prevent cross-infection between the first aider and the casualty as far as possible.

Robin Fugill, Head Teacher, commented: " We have been able to put significant investment into ICT this year, which will enable significant improvements and enhancements across every subject. The last six months have already seen improvements in the reliabilty and quality of ICT and by September this will be taken to the next level of efficiency. We are very excited about these improvements, which will be significant in helping us to raise achievement. "
