🚨 Anaphylaxis Awareness

This week, all pupils have been learning about allergies and anaphylaxis as part of their PSHCE education.

Pupils learned how to recognise the warning signs of a serious allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing, swelling and feeling faint. They also discussed the importance of taking allergies seriously, never sharing food and getting help from an adult immediately during an emergency.

This important learning helps pupils understand how their actions can protect others and potentially save a life.

🎥 Watch this short video from Anaphylaxis UK to learn more about anaphylaxis and how to recognise a serious allergic reaction:
