On Tuesday 30th April 2019 our KS2 students began their swimming lessons at Haven Point!
“Swimming is great fun and helps children to stay fit and healthy. But swimming at school also teaches children vital skills on how to stay safe in and around water.” (Children and Families Minister Nadhim Zahawi)
All of the students had a fantastic time and really enjoyed learning new swimming techniques.
The students are all working hard towards achieving their 25 meter award!

All of our students were asked if they wanted to join in the competition to give the pony a name!
Our students were told that the pony is a boy, his mum’s name is GOLDEN SUNSHINE and his Dad’s name is GOLDEN SHALIMAR.
