Fishermoss School

First-aid is an invaluable life skill. Fishermoss School pupils receive basic training in Primary 5 and progress their skills in P6 and P7. Through first-aid training, they are empowered to look after themselves and each other and it increases their confidence. They are enthusiastic because they quickly identify the impact these skills can have. Our parent-staff association provides the funding for Grampian Training Services’ first-aid courses as they recognise what a key life skill this is. The courses help us deliver the Health and Wellbeing experiences and outcomes, and we have also found the training helps pupils become successful learners with enthusiasm and motivation; confident individuals with physical, mental and emotional well-being, self-respect and ambition; responsible citizens with respect for others and a commitment to participate in their community and the wider world; and effective contributors who can communicate, work together, solve problems and help others.
