Dear Parent/Carer,
Since 1994, swimming and water safety has been a statutory element of the National Curriculum for Physical Education in England. This means that every 11-year old child should leave primary school with the skills to keep themselves safe while enjoying swimming with friends and family.
The three National Curriculum outcomes state that all schools must provide swimming instruction either in Key Stage One or Key Stage Two and that children must:
- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
- perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

If your child is unable to complete any of the above then they will be expected to take part in swimming lessons before they leave St Edward’s at the end of Year 6. This is a National requirement for your child. Please answer the following questions below and provide any evidence that is required. Please note this form is for KS2 pupils only. Please send your answers and evidence to enquires@stedwards.npcat.org.uk 

Many thanks,

Mrs George
PE Lead
