Swimming
We are delighted to be the 1st school in Bucks to have invested in a Pop Up Pool for 5 weeks during this summer term 2024. WIth the support of Aqualympics we have been able to offer our children this excellent opportunity to experience:
- A heated and filtered pool
- Teaching from a Level 2 swimming teacher and Lifesaver
- New equipment to support our children in the pool
- No travel time, so limited impact on other curriculum areas
- 2 x 30 minute sessions each week
- Smaller group lessons
