Restart a Heart

1st Oct 2025

Today, Primary 7 took part in the 'Restart a Heart' live lesson, where we learned an essential life-saving skill. The children learned about the circulatory system and how to perform CPR.

Restart a Heart (RSAH) is an annual initiative led by Resuscitation Council UK, which aims to increase the number of people surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrests by helping more people learn CPR and become ResusReady.

The acronym the children used to remember the key actions was:

  • D – Danger
  • R – Response
  • A – Airway
  • B – Breathing
  • C – CPR
