School Swimming partnership

Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 pupils to have weekly swimming lessons at Chandlings Prep swimming pool taught by Chandlings specialist swimming teachers. 

Aims

To give all the pupils in the three year groups the opportunity to have regular weekly swimming lessons that they did not have before.

Background

This is a new partnership that came about from discussions with the Chandlings science teacher who was already conducting an annual science day with Long Furlong. Long Furlong could only offer a handful of swimming lessons to their children per year and a need for regular lessons was identified for the three top year groups. 

Resources

Weekly use of the Chandlings pool for one hour every term along with the time of two specialist swimming staff.  The children also have a snack and drink during their time here. All this is offered by the school. 

Impact

In total Chandlings will offer 64 staff hours.

90 children will use the pool over the year.

33 hours of swimming lessons will take place. 

Pupil Involvement

30 Year 6 children will have a weekly lesson during the Autumn Term.

30 Year 5 children will have a weekly lesson during the Spring Term.

30 Year 4 children will have a weekly lesson during the Summer Term.

Frequency

The swimming lessons take place every week every term. This is an ongoing partnership.
