Swimming

The School's Swimming programme restarts for Year 4 children during the week beginning 14th September. The allocated lessons slots are:

The letter below, entitled 'Swimming Letter', gives information that you and your child will need to know before going swimming. There is also a video to watch, called Withington, in which you can see what the safety measures at the pool are and what to expect upon arrival. Please watch this with your child.
