This cohort of pupils went swimming for 20 weeks in year 4. Children that did not meet the recommended swimming standards were then invited for a third term and further interventions, if required.
Swimming assessments, intervention assessments, teacher knowledge & parent views were used to work out the children's swimming skill level at the end of Yr6.
