National Curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety:
Last academic year the pupils at Thurston CE Primary Academy were taught to swim in Years 5 and 6 at Stowmarket Pool using Suffolk Norse Swimming as, due to the pandemic, they missed out on the swimming tuition in Year 4. Currently Year 4 and 5 are attending an hours swimming lesson each week.
Swimming Challenge Awards – Gold
By the end of the Academic Year 2021-21 98% of the pupils in Year 5 and 6 were able to swim a distance of 25 metres or more and 98% pupils have gained PSA Awards.
Pupils who have not reach the proficiency advised by DfE will be offered funding to continue swimming tuition in Year 5/6 privately.
