Swimming Block 2

Teaching about water safety is paramount due to our close proximity to the sea and with the summer holidays approaching. A key aspect of this education is swimming proficiency, ensuring individuals are equipped with the necessary skills to navigate water bodies safely. Understanding rescue techniques is equally vital, as it empowers individuals to assist those in need. Various methods of aiding a person in distress are taught, emphasising the importance of quick thinking and effective actions. An innovative approach includes simulating rescue scenarios where the children wore pyjamas to experience the added challenge of rescuing each other in water, preparing them for real-life situations. By integrating these practical elements into our curriculum, we aim to foster a community that is knowledgeable, skilled, and proactive in promoting water safety, ultimately reducing the risks associated with sea-related activities. 

Summer Disco

The Summer Disco event at our school was a resounding success, providing students with a delightful blend of fun, music, and treats. The children came together to revel in the joyous occasion, creating lasting memories. Laughter and chatter filled the air as students danced to the upbeat tunes, showcasing their camaraderie. The aroma of sizzling hot dogs wafted through the venue, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Summer Disco exemplified the school's commitment to creating enriching opportunities for its students.
