๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ Swimming Cancelled During Lockdown
Mr J Sharp
To Year 4 Families
We received this message from MCR Active who run our schools swimming programme:
In light of the recent Government announcement of a further lockdown from Thursday 5thNovember, it comes with great regret that we have to once again close the programme due to the leisure industry having to close down. As swimming is compulsory on the national curriculum we thought we would have had justifiable reasons for school swimming to still take place, but unfortunately this is not the case due to the fact the leisure centres are public places and schools would have to leave their premises to get there.
This is an awful blow for the programme and the impact this is having on our pupils learning an important life skill, please be assured that we are already looking at contingency plans to try and ensure we deliver a full programme once weโre allowed to open back up.
Once we are clear that the lockdown will end on 2nd December I will back in touch regarding starting the programme back up at the most appropriate time.
We really hope that the restrictions on swimming do not last too long as it is a crucial part of our childrenโs education (as well as something we know many children look forward to).
When we receive more information, we will immediately pass it on to you all.
Thank you again for your understanding and patience.
Mr. J. Sharp
Head Teacher
