At St Thomas More, we believe swimming is an essential life skill and a fantastic way for children to build confidence, coordination, and resilience. Here's how we make every splash count:

What We Offer:

• Curriculum-Based Swimming: All Year 4 pupils receive swimming lessons as part of their school education.
• Skilled Instructors: Our teachers and swimming coaches work with children in the water, providing direct support and encouragement.
• Tailored Learning: Small group sizes (maximum of 4) ensure individual attention and progress.

 Strong Outcomes:

• Swimming Success: Over 80% of our pupils can swim at least 25 metres by the end of Year 6.
• Inclusive Options: We offer top-up lessons in Year 6 for children who cannot yet swim 25 metres 

Engaging Experiences:

• Fun Formats: Lessons include stroke development, water safety, and even end-of-term fun sessions for active enjoyment.
