Swimming

At Sidney Stringer Primary School the children have weekly swimming lessons in years 3 and 4. The children learn how to be safe around water, participate in water confidence exercises and self-rescue strategies and go on to learn a range of strokes in the aim of being confident swimmers. This learning also revisited back in school with our water safety assemblies and during our residential trips. In year 6 the children also attend a weeklong intensive swimming programme at the wave pool.

Please view the Sports Premium Report to find percentage of children at the end of year 6 who could swim 25m or more unaided.
