Year 6 School Swimming Attainment Levels

As a direct result of the SPF through additional provision for children in KS2 who were not on track to achieve their competent 25m target, additional water confidence sessions were set to be incorporated into the KS2 swimming provision. However, due to the closure of our local swimming pool in February 2024, this was not able to happen this year. As a result, 22 of the 30 current Year 6 students achieved their Stage 7 award (Nottinghamshire School Swimming Association). This required the children to complete all of the following:

• Swim confidently, competently and efficiently over a distance of at least 25m
  Year 6 percentage for 2025/26 – 87%
• Use a range of strokes effectively
  Year 6 percentage for 2025/26 – 87%
• Perform safe self-rescue in a range of water-based situations
  Year 6 percentage for 2025/26 – 100%
