SwimmingThroughout the year our Year 4 children attend swimming lessons once a week at John Smeaton leisure centre. Our aim is for every child to be able to swim to a least 25 metres and understanding how to be safe in the water. The children are taught by a range of staff from the leisure centre and coached swimming staff from Whinmoor St Pauls.
The National Curriculum requirement for all children leaving Year 6 is to:
perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
