School Swimming
2017-2018
95% of our Year 6 cohort met the national curriculum requirement to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres, using a range of strokes effectively and performing safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
We provide our children with a 2 week block of intensive swimming in both Year 3 and Year 4, with the children working towards the expected standard of swimming under the National Curriculum.
In Year 5 and 6 we provide our children with an additional 1 week block of swimming. The aim of these sessions is to provide the children with lifesaving skills and to increase their swimming endurance. Any children who don't meet the National Curriculum standard in Year 4 have further instruction during the Year 5 and 6 sessions as necessary.
