Celebrate World First Aid Day on 13 September with this engaging, ready-to-deliver whole-school assembly for primary schools.

This assembly introduces children to the simple, safe principles of first aid, focusing on what they can do when someone is hurt or unwell without trying to act as a doctor. Pupils learn the key message: “Stop. Stay calm. Get help.”

Through relatable scenarios, pupils explore how to notice when someone needs help, stay calm, avoid putting themselves in danger, find a trusted adult and use kind words. The assembly emphasises that first aid is often about small, sensible actions that help someone feel safe and supported.

The presentation includes an interactive True or False game, partner discussion, audience questions and a practical reflection on how pupils can be calm, caring helpers within their school community.
