SWIMMING PROVISION

Children have regular swimming lessons - the children who attend changes at February Half-Term. However, some children continue to swim all year round so they are able to complete the end of Year Six requirement:

  • Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
  • Use a range of strokes effectively
  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

All Year Six children achieved these requirements at the end of 22-23.
