End of KS2 Swimming.

COVID and the associated school closures and closures of leisure centres has had a huge impact on school swimming, with a number of year groups missing out during this time.

As a catch up plan a pop up swimming pool, has been used in the school for two years for a few weeks at at time to target those pupils that missed out.

During their time pupils will develop water confidence and start to learn to swim.  Please don’t worry if your child is nervous as many of our pupils have never been in a swimming pool before or can swim.  Over the year they will make huge improvements some going from complete non swimmers to reaching the 25m swim standard!  For many it becomes their favourite lesson in Year 3.

Becoming water confident and able to swim is very important which is why the school subsidises the cost, not from the PE Grant but from the main school budget! However, regular swimming and private lessons especially at a younger age really help pupils learn to swim.  The AT7 centre has a swimming pool it is definitely worth taking your children or getting them private  lessons.
