Swimming
Swimming lessons take place in our own swimming pool, within the school grounds, in the second half of the summer term (June-July). We request voluntary contributions for the lessons to help towards heating and maintenance of the pool and to fund our qualified swimming teacher.
Without these contributions the pressure on the school's budget may mean that we are unable to run swimming lessons for the whole school.
Please see below for this years timetable and permission letter.
