Sports Premium
We couldn't be more excited about the government stance on mantaining the same level of sports funding for schools this academic year. This will enable us to keep up the good work so that even more students can access more opportunities, and improve existing ones. Children will be even more inspired, develop their sporting skills further and will be even more motivated to take part in sport therefore creating sustainable and healthier habits for life.

Swimming Data 2025
The swimming data reveals a substantial improvement in students' swimming abilities from Year 3 to Year 6. At the start of Year 3, 67.3% of students required swimming aids, and only 4.1% were able to swim 25 metres unaided. By the time they reached Year 6, the percentage of students needing aids decreased dramatically to just 9.3%. More impressively, 37.2% of students were able to swim 25 metres, achieving the national standard for swimming. This progress highlights the significant impact of regular swimming lessons on developing students' water confidence, safety, and swimming skills. The school's commitment to consistent swimming instruction over the years has clearly enhanced children's abilities, enabling them to meet crucial milestones and feel more confident in the water.
