Entitled Big First Aid Lesson 2017, the programme is hosted by BAFTA-winning Secret Life of Boys star Reece Buttery. It is an hour-long program that will be streamed live into classrooms across the country free of charge.

 

The charity, which hopes to reach out to 250,000 pupils, is urging teachers to sign up for the programme.

 

"As a St John Ambulance cadet, I’ve seen first-hand how important first aid can be in an emergency," said Reece.

 

"We know schools are time-pressed, but the Big First Aid Lesson Live is free, easy to join and could help to save a life.

 

"We hope teachers everywhere sign their classes up and get involved."

 

St John Ambulance’s national training delivery manager schools David Nicklen said: "The Big First Aid Lesson Live is an accessible, easy to learn, and fun resource - students will finish the lesson feeling confident they could one day be a life saver.

 

"I encourage all schools to take part so their pupils don’t miss out on this exciting and educational event."
