Enrichment Afternoons
All children, from Years 1 – 6, have the opportunity to take part in a variety of enrichment activities one afternoon per week during the school day. This ensures all pupils, whether they can attend extra curricular clubs or not, can benefit from a wealth of experiences.
Some of the activities on offer this year:
Activity 1 – First aid
“Thank you to Low Ash Primary School for teaching our children to recognise the signs of having a stroke and general first aid. Thanks to my daughter, my mum is still alive today.” Parent social media post and email November 2024.
Due to the learning in our First Aid sessions, one of our pupils was able to recognise the signs of a stroke in her grandma and, because of this, managed to get her to the hospital in the ‘golden hour’. As a result of this, the pupil and first aid teacher have been awarded by the Lord Mayor. The links below will take you to the BBC and T &A article.
