Swimming Data
Meeting National Curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety. Priority should always be given to ensuring that pupils can perform safe self-rescue even if they do not fully meet the first two requirements of the National Curriculum programme of study
Question
What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres?
What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke]?
That percentage of your current Year 6 cohort are able to perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations?
If your schools swimming data is below national expectation, you can choose to use the Primary PE and sport premium to provide additional top-up sessions for those pupils that did not meet National Curriculum requirements after the completion of core lessons. Have you done this?
Have you provided CPD to improve the knowledge and confidence of staff to be able to teach swimming and water safety?

Review of last year 2023/24
What went well?
Equipment has been purchased for PE lessons, extra-curricular activities and break time activities.
How do you know?
• All children in a class participating in rugby lessons at the same time due to everyone having a ball
• OPAL play has been well-received by children, staff and parents. It has been monitored by governors with widespread praise for the activities that are now on offer to the children at breaktimes and lunchtimes.
We have increased participation in competitive sport.
Year 6 Top-Up swimmers
Children understanding how to stay healthily physically and emotionally
• The Federation Cup saw a high proportion of children take part in some competitive sports against Minster
• Children were selected rather than first come/first served. As a result, children who would not normally take part/find sport more challenging or are SEND children were able to be included. This provided an inclusive and nurturing environment for the children with a focus on competition as well as self-achievement
• By the end of KS2, 73% of children were able to swim 25m due to swimming lessons in Year 5 and top up swimming in Year 6.
• Survey – 100% of children said they know how to cope or what to do when feeling sad.
• Teachers report that children understand the importance of a balanced diet – taught through the curriculum and in Healthy Bodies Week.
