Swimming is a compulsory element of the National Curriculum.   We aim for as many of our children as possible to achieve the expected end of Y6 outcomes of being able to swim 25m, proficiently swim a range of strokes (front crawl, backstroke and breast stroke) and can perform a self-rescue.  Currently our Year 4 classes attend a block of weekly swimming lessons at Bingham.  In the Summer term,  Year 6 children are assessed on swimming ability and children who would benefit from additional lessons are invited to attend weekly lessons to improve their skills.
