Dear parents and carers,

KS2 Swimming Lessons

Classes 3, 4 and 5 will begin swimming lessons after the Easter Break.

The first lesson will be on Wednesday 6^th May 2026 and there will be nine lessons in total (excluding Wednesday 27^th May, half term week) with the last session taking place on Wednesday 8^th July 2026.

All children will need to bring a towel and a swimsuit (no bikinis please).

For children with long hair, please ensure your child either has a bobble to tie their hair up securely or if they prefer, a swimming hat.  Please make sure your children have their goggles and armbands if needed.

Lessons will take place during school hours and children will have their normal lunch arrangements and the end of day home time collection routine from the main playground will remain the same.

This year, children and staff will be walking to and from Oakengates Leisure Centre!

Swimming lessons are enjoyed as part of the National Curriculum and your child(ren) should attend, regardless of ability.

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact the school office.

Many thanks,

Miss K Bradley

PE Co-ordinator
