When Clapgate Primary School Teaching Assistant Vicky Stevens collapsed during a school nature walk, colleagues Aston Queeley and Nicola Holmes started CPR.
With no public defibrillator nearby, they continued chest compressions for 18 minutes until help arrived.
Doctors later said Vicky would not have made it to the hospital without their actions.
Their calm response, confidence and training helped save a life, and they have now been recognised with Resuscitation Certificates from the Royal Humane Society .
