Our children undertake their swimming programme in Year 4. Therefore, the swimming data published reflects pupils' attainment and swimming ability at the end of Year 4, when they completed their swimming lessons, rather than their current year group. This provides an accurate measure of the outcomes achieved through our school swimming provision.

2025-26 Year 4 Swimming

Year 4 Swimming

Our Year 4 children have thoroughly enjoyed developing their swimming skills in our “pop-up pool” this week. They have taken part in daily swimming lessons, which will continue until Friday 8th May.

Working in small groups during 30-minute sessions, the children have focused on developing their water confidence, self-rescue skills and swimming ability. The lessons have provided a fantastic opportunity for every child to receive targeted support and build their skills in a safe and encouraging environment.

Many of the children have already made fantastic progress and are becoming increasingly confident in the water. Alongside improving their swimming techniques, they have also learned valuable water safety lessons, helping them to understand how to stay safe in and around water.

We are incredibly proud of the effort, determination and enthusiasm shown by all of the children. Well done, Year 4! 

2024-25 Top-up Swimming

A group of fifteen Year 5 pupils were identified as needing additional swimming lessons in order to achieve the end of KS2 objectives. As a result of this, they took part in intensive, daily swimming lessons over a two-week period to improve their swimming skills. By the end of this swimming block, 100% of the children had gained water confidence, 78% could preform self rescue techniques and 71% could swim 25m unaided. 

Any additional children who are identified as needing extra swimming support will be selected to complete another block of intensive swimming lessons when they are in Year 6.
