Dear Parents/Guardians,

Every Monday, beginning Monday 24th April and ending 17th July, all Key stage 2 children will go to Oakengates leisure centre for a 30 minute swimming lesson. The children will go to the swimming pool in their year groups and will be split into three different groups, based on their swimming abilities. Each group will be led by at least one member of St George’s staff. The leisure centre life-guards will be on hand as a safety measure.

All children will get changed at the leisure centre so will need an appropriate swimming costume in a separate waterproof bag, towel and goggles if required. All other swimming equipment such as arm bands and floats will be provided at the leisure centre. We suggest packing an extra pair of socks/ tights in case they get wet during the changing procedure.  Can we please encourage children to wear their swimming costumes under their uniform in the morning to make the most of the time available at the swimming pool (don’t forget to pack underwear for after swimming.)  All children will return to school in time for normal lunches.

Kind Regards

PE Team.
