A recent report by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Swimming has identified that attainment levels in school swimming is likley to drop as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The report estimates that if there are no additional interventions the number of children able to swim 25m in year 7 will drop from 77% to 43% by 2025/26.

At 1610 we recognise that with an expectation from the Government for schools to teach an ambitious and broad curriculum in all subjects there will be pressures on schools to boost attainment across a range of subjects.

1610 want to help by offering a new 'After School Swim Club product' for schools.

These sessions will

• run approx 3 - 4pm in the afternoon
• Be heavily discounted to make them accessible for schools to access
• be aimed at pupils not yet achieving the minimum outcomes for swimming as set out in the national curriculum

The benefits for schools are:

1. The PE and School Sport Premium funding can be used for these sessions so shouldn't impact on the main school budget
2. The sessions increase the likelihood of pupils achieving the National Curriculum outcomes
3. These sessions significantly reduce the impact on school time allowing more time to teach other subjects

Terms and conditions apply - sessions must be used in addition to existing school bookings.

Only 5 slots available each week - so don't let your school miss out.
