St George's Hanover Square Primary School has swimming classes at Francis Holland
Every week, pupils from St George's School come to Francis Holland with their teacher to take swimming lessons in our pool.
Aims
To introduce primary-aged children to swimming and to promote a lifelong love of the sport alongside a healthy lifestyle.
Background
This is a long-standing project which has benefited recently from the complete refurbishment of our swimming pool.
Resources
We provide the pool and also swimming teaching to the school since St George's does not have a qualified coach. This is a commitment of teaching time, preparation time aswell as physical resources.
Impact
There is a qualitative outcome for the girls and boys from St George's School. The ability to swim is on the decline nationally and Francis Holland School is playing its part to support swimming.
Pupil Involvement
Year 5.
Frequency
Every week.
