In Year 6, we no longer offer whole-cohort swimming lessons. Instead, we provide top-up swimming lessons for children who require additional support to meet the national expectations for primary school swimming.
These expectations are that pupils can:
- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- Use a range of strokes effectively (e.g., front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke)
- Demonstrate an understanding of safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
To help us identify which children would benefit from these top-up lessons, we kindly ask that you complete a short Microsoft Forms questionnaire. Please answer the questions as honestly and accurately as possible, as this information will support us in understanding your child’s current swimming ability. We will use your responses alongside school records from previous swimming assessments in Years 3, 4 and 5.

Thank you for your support in ensuring we provide the right opportunities for our pupils.
