Swimming

Year 6 children in KS2 receive swimming lessons paid for by the school in the summer term. Not from the Sports Premium. Any child who is unable to swim 25m in the final half term of year 6 is placed on an intensive swimming course in June/July to give them further support in reaching this target. % below are for children who can swim 25m unaided in a stroke of their choice. They can use front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly to a basic standard. They have also performed a safe self-rescue in the swimming pool in at least two different scenarios.
