Mount Pleasant Primary School

Swimming

Children in Key Stage 2 at Mount Pleasant take part in swimming lessons once a week at a local swimming pool. The children are taught a range of swimming strokes and basic water safety by qualified swimming instructors. Due to the pandemic, we have had to adapt our schedule to ensure all children are able to access these lessons and aim to achieve the expectations by the end of Key Stage 2. Our current Year 6 cohort will participate in additional swimming provision in the summer term 2023.
