Key stage two building has a fist aid box stored in the first aid room and one in the school office, every member of staff know where these are kept.

There are many members of staff at our school who are first aid qualified there are lists throughout the school stating what members of staff are first aid qualified. There will always be a member of staff on site who has been trained in first aid during school hours and for after school clubs.
