Swimming - Hertford St Andrews CEVA Primary School

We offered Hertford St Andrews CEVA Primary School the use of our school swimming pool and provided transportation to the children in Years 5 and 6, which enabled them to come and learn to swim.

Aims

By allowing HSA to use our pool and provide transport they are able to offer a complete PE curriculum to their pupil who would otherwise miss out on learning to swim before they left primary school.

Critical factors include the maintenance and upkeep of our school pool, the ability to off transport and changing facilities.

The 24 Year 5 and 6 children children who undertook the 6 week swimming programme were the main beneficiaries.
