Whilst we understand that some of our pupils may already be able to swim 25m with confidence, our qualified swimming teachers will continue to refine technique and stamina. Furthermore, in line with our teaching and learning policy, pupils who are less competent swimmers are supported and encouraged by those whom are more proficient.

Pupils are able to work towards swimming merit badges at a cost of £2.50 each. There are a range of bright, colourful, cheerful badges and certificates to help keep your child motivated and designed to test your child’s ability – celebrated in our weekly assemblies.
