Swimming
All Students have received training on water confidence as well as how to swim effectively on three different strokes: Frontcrawl, Backstroke and Breastroke (body positioning, stroke development, full stroke and breathing)
All Year 6 students have also been been trained on water safety skills including:
- Treading water for 1 minute
- Swimming with clothes on
- Performing rescues
- Safe jumps into the water.
Swimming Data 2026
Swimming remains a real success story at our school. The data shows that pupils make excellent progress throughout Key Stage 2, with 58.3% of Year 6 pupils able to swim 25 metres independently, almost doubling the proportion seen in Year 5.
These outcomes reflect the positive impact of our swimming provision and the commitment of both pupils and staff. Through regular lessons, children develop essential water safety skills, improve their swimming ability and gain the confidence needed to enjoy water-based activities safely. We will continue to build on these successes to ensure that even more pupils achieve the national standard and leave our school with swimming as a skill for life.
