The PYP at LAH- how we link learning to the World of Work!
We have been extremely fortunate this year to continue to welcome a number of visitors to talk to the children about their careers and their world of work.
Leigh Academy Hartley recognises the importance of developing lifelong learners who are prepared to enter the global community. Through careful curriculum planning, learners are exposed to a range of careers and professionals from Nursery to Year 6. Our students explore links to careers and apply their learning to real-life contexts during our IB Primary Years Programme curriculum. Staff facilitate and encourage high aspirations and ambitions for all our learners, supporting them in becoming Happy, Positive Achievers who are Learning to Change the World.

In Week 4 of this module, our KS2 pupils had the fantastic opportunity to take part in a First Aid Workshop led by Seb from Flat Stan First Aid.
The session began with discussions about what first aid is, why it matters, and how we can access help in an emergency. Pupils then took part in a range of hands-on activities, practising key first aid techniques on each other—and on "Flat Stan", the training model.
The children learned how to use everyday items, such as jumpers and tea towels, to support someone with a potential arm injury or to help stop bleeding. They also developed their bandaging skills, applying dressings to various parts of the body. The session concluded with training on how to support someone who may be choking or experiencing cardiac arrest, including a practical introduction to CPR.
Here’s what some of our pupils had to say:
“We learnt about first aid—what we should do if someone bleeds, chokes or burns themselves. We learnt where to place our hands on someone’s chest when giving CPR. It was good to know what to do in case something happens to us or our friends.”
— Emma, Ash Class
“We learnt what to do if someone has a nosebleed and we also learnt how to do CPR. I think it was good. It made me laugh when I had to be the person on the floor so that Seb, the instructor, could show us what to do.”
— Will, Ash Class
The day was both educational and memorable, giving pupils confidence and practical knowledge they can carry with them. A big thank you to Seb and Flat Stan First Aid for delivering such a valuable experience.
