Jack - The Hero!

Posted: Apr 11, 2020 by: Martin Clayton (MClayton) on: Class 6

Here's an amazing story for a bank holiday weekend...

Jack's mum was suddenly taken ill, without any warning, while he was alone with her in the house and he had the calmness and the presence of mind to ring for an ambulance.

She was unresponsive and he sat with her, keeping her cool with a damp cloth, while waiting for the paramedics.

When they arrived, he gave them all the relevant information on her medical history and her treatments.

The paramedics told his grandma that he was extremely mature, kept his cool throughout and did everything right; they were particularly impressed that he knew what to do, could give such good information and managed to get the help that his mum needed so quickly.

If we had all been at school, they would have been able to come in to tell the whole school this, in an assembly, so I hope that you will all understand just what a hero Jack is and ensure that you congratulate him when you see him next.

Well done Jack; WE ARE ALL VERY PROUD OF YOU!
