From this year, schools are required to publish how many Year 6 pupils have met the national curriculum requirements relating to swimming and water safety.
National Curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety:
- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- use a range of strokes effectively
- perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
Following recent consultation about these attainment targets, and to ensure that all Year 6 children have met National Curriculum requirements for water safety, the class will be taking part in a water safety session on Friday 13 July.
The session is a land based session, in school, and will be a good reminder about how to stay safe around water as we come up to the summer holidays and with the current warm weather.
