The Heatherlands Way

Dear Parents/Carers of Year 4,

As part of the PE curriculum, it is compulsory for Key Stage 2 children to complete a swimming programme.  Swanage class will have 10 sessions during the Autumn/Spring term. We are extremely lucky to have been allocated a time on a Monday at Rossmore Leisure Centre and 3 fully qualified swimming teachers will teach the sessions.  The Heatherlands teachers will accompany the children to the pool. To enhance the swimming experience we now walk to Rossmore, which takes around 25 minutes from school. I will remind you weekly via text and also advise on the weather and potential requirements for waterproofs etc.

As the children are walking and swimming, we now offer you the opportunity to collect your child directly from Rossmore after the session at 2.45pm. This will save your child the additional walk back to school. However, if you wish them to walk back with the teachers, they will be back on site for 3.15pm. If you are going to collect from Rossmore, please let us know below, as I will remain behind with these children and ensure they are collected safely.

#name will need to bring a full swimming kit including towel, trunks or swimsuit which will need to be brought to school each Monday. We also advise that all children bring swimming goggles if they have some. Children with long hair will also require a swimming hat – fabric where possible, as the plastic ones are very difficult to get on.

The 10 swimming sessions will commence on Monday 5th December 2022. The last session will be Monday the 6th March. There are a few bank holidays!

In order to cover all costs including swimming teachers, lifeguards and pool rental we are asking for a payment of £30 which I am sure you will agree is very reasonable.  Payment can be made by cash or an online payment.

Thank you

Miss B Collis (Assistant Headteacher)
