STUDENTS at a village school south of York have been learning vital lifesaving skills

Year 7 pupils at Sherburn High School, in Sherburn-in-Elmet, near Selby, received a visit from Kippax First Responders and Yorkshire Ambulance Service staff.

They taught the students cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to mark European Restart a Heart Day.

During the course of the day, the volunteers taught more than 120 students this emergency procedure.

A spokesperson for the school said the day went well.

They said: “Students really enjoyed this practical advice.
