As part of the National Curriculum your child will be going to the Quarry Swimming Baths for swimming lessons. Each lesson will take place on a Friday afternoon for 5 weeks, starting 20th January and ending 17th February (inclusive), leaving around 1.15pm by coach provided by Birch Travel, and returning approx. 3.00pm.
Although the hire of the pool is taken in to account when setting the school budget, the cost of the transport is not. We are therefore asking for a voluntary contribution of £18.00 from each pupil towards the cost of the coach hire. Payment should be made via your child’s ParentPay account in the usual way, by 18th January please.
We are asking parents to complete a Swimming Ability form for their child so we can organise the groups by their proficiency in the water. A link to the form is given below:

We would be grateful if you could complete this form by Wednesday 18th January in order that we have sufficient time to sort out ability groups.
Please ensure your child remembers to bring their swimming costume (no bikinis please), goggles and towel in on the day they go swimming, as they will only be disappointed if they have to stay behind or sit and watch! Thank you.
