Swimming

The National Curriculum requires that schools:

.......provide swimming instruction either in KS1 or KS2.

In particular, pupils should be taught to:

  • swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m
  • use a range of strokes effectively, e.g. front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke
  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

All children swim for approximately 5-6 weeks at The Pewsey Vale Community Campus each academic year; this year,  tuition will begin in April 23.
