The Resuscitation Council (UK) and the British Heart Foundation have launched a national campaign to try to persuade David Cameron and his Government to include teaching on how to save a person’s life in the school curriculum. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if all school children were taught these life-saving skills?

The campaign needs your support. Our school has teamed up with a local hospital to produce a poster on life-saving skills – a copy of this is included in this week’s issue of First News. Copies of the poster are being sent out to 29,000 schools throughout the UK. Further copies of this poster can be downloaded from our school website: www.theroyalschool.co.uk
