At our school, we are committed to ensuring every child gains essential water confidence and foundational swimming skills. While no children have yet achieved the national swimming standard, we are proud to report that all of our Year 6 pupils have developed strong water confidence this academic year (2025-26).

Our structured swimming programme begins in Year 5, where pupils are introduced to key prerequisite skills such as entering and exiting the water safely, becoming comfortable in a community pool environment, supporting changing as independent as possible, and travelling confidently on school transport. This learning is built upon in Year 6, progressing the skills introduced in Year 5.
