Swimming at East Dene
At East Dene we want all children to be proficient swimmers by the time they transition to secondary school. All children access a 12 week swimming block in Year 4, where they are taught by trained swimming instructors at Rotherham Leisure Complex. Any child who has not achieved Level 1 at the end of the period will then access another 12 week swimming block.
% of Children Achieving National Expectations
It is now a requirement for primary schools to publish swimming data linked to their current Y6 pupils.
2017 – 2018 % of Y6 pupils achieving national expectations for swimming = 61% (27/44)
2018 – 2019 % of Y6 pupils achieving national expectations for swimming = 69% (29/42)
2019 -2020 Swimming & Water Safety Data of Y6 pupils achieving national expectations for swimming:
What percentage of your Year 6 pupils could swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres when they left your primary school at the end of last academic year? = 52% (22/42)
What percentage of your Year 6 pupils could use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke] when they left your primary school at the end of last academic year? = 52% (22/42)
What percentage of your Year 6 pupils could perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations when they left your primary school at the end of last academic year? = 86% (36/42)
Schools can choose to use the primary PE and sport premium to provide additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements. Have you used it in this way? Yes

Meeting national curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety.
We have promoted and encouraged water safety, using the resources from South Yorkshire police. This has been shared due to incidents occurring around Rotherham. We have added additional sessions into the Swimming offer for next year, depending on any further restrictions this will ensure that pupils can perform safe self-rescue even if they do not fully meet the first two requirements of the NC programme of study.

N.B. Complete this section to your best ability. For example you might have practised safe self-rescue techniques on dry land which you can then transfer to the pool when school swimming restarts. Due to exceptional circumstances priority should be given to ensuring that pupils can perform safe self rescue even if they do not fully meet the first two requirements of the NC programme of study |
