FURTHER CONTEXT (RELATIVE TO LOCAL CHALLENGES) |
| What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres? | 66% | A large number of children were considered to be non-swimmers at the beginning of year 5. After the children’s swimming lessons in Y5, 35% of children could swim 25m. This figure has now raised to 66% following our booster swimming lessons. |
| What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke]? | 66% | After the children’s swimming lessons in Y5, 42% of children could use a range of strokes effectively. This figure has now raised to 66% following our booster swimming lessons. |
| What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort are able to perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations? | 66% | After the children’s swimming lessons in Y5, 50% of children could use a range of strokes effectively. This figure has now raised to 66% following our booster swimming lessons. |
| If your schools swimming data is below national expectation, you can choose to use the Primary PE and sport premium to provide additional top-up sessions for those pupils that did not meet National Curriculum requirements after the completion of core lessons. Have you done this? | YES | |
| Have you provided CPD to improve the knowledge and confidence of staff to be able to teach swimming and water safety? | NO | Our Year 5 and 6 staff members were present during all lessons and were able to observe how swimming was taught and how lessons were conducted by professional swimming instructors. |
