In addition, we offer a 'top up' to selected Year 4 children who would benefit from extra swimming lessons to develop their strokes, competence and confidence in the water. We have also been able to FREE swimming passes to children (Y3, 4 and 6) who, from data collection and assessments, do not meet the minimum 25m National Curriculum expectation.
