Inclusion: A tale of five rooms!

This month we have an article in the magazine ‘Headteacher Update’ that tells the story of how Sir Alexander Fleming won the NASEN Award for Primary Provision of the Year 2023 and how at the heart of this success is the nurturing and inclusive provision we provide to meet the diverse needs of our learners.

Swimming Lessons for KS2 – September

Swimming lessons for KS2

We have used our sports funding money for 2023-2024 to lease a pop-up swimming pool so that we can focus on teaching our children to swim. We feel that this is a lifelong skill that could save a life and want to give our children the best start. The swimming pool comes with a fully trained swim coach for the 5 weeks that we have it.

All children in KS2 (Years 3-6) will need to bring swimming kits to school from Tuesday 5th September and they need to be in school everyday! Some children will have 2 lessons per week (see the poster attached for details).

There will also be the opportunity to have additional lessons after-school but this will come at a cost to families.
