5 – Increased participation in competitive sport

Swimming

Additional – By Year 6, pupils can swim competently over a distance of at least 25 metres, using a range of strokes effectively & perform self rescue. 88% were able to swim 25 metres by the end of Year 6 in 2024. In 2025, 77% were able to swim 25 metres by the end of Year 5  in 2024. We have also since enrolled a further 4 children in the Year 6 cohort. The children who did achieve this will continue with their swimming in the Spring term of 2026.

Sport England’s latest Active Lives Children and Young People report from December 2022, shows that 72 per cent of children in Year Seven meet the guidelines to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m. 

This shows that our pupils are performing very well.
