Dear Parents and Carers,
We are very pleased to be able to provide swimming at Blackbrook Pavilion Pool this term. This meets with the National Curriculum Physical Education Programme.
Bath Place class (Years 4 & 5) will attend swimming lessons on a weekly basis for 10 weeks from Monday 12 January until Monday 30 March. The children will travel to Blackbrook swimming pool during the afternoon and will be back for the end of the school day.
The cost of this activity is being subsidised by the school and the voluntary contribution for each pupil is £2.50 per week.
All payments need to be made via your child’s MCAS account, where you can find it in the menu under Products. You can choose to pay the whole £25 for this term’s swimming in one go, or make weekly payments of £2.50.
All fully completed consent forms need to be completed and returned by 3.15pm on Friday 9 January 2026.
Please note that children must wear appropriate costumes and bring a towel. Girls should wear a one-piece costume, not two-piece, and boys should wear trunks, not long Bermuda shorts. Please ensure that all swimming kits are named.
As swimming forms part of the National Curriculum, all children are expected to attend swimming lessons unless there is a genuine medical reason why they are unable to do so. Please ensure that you return a signed consent form (even if you are unable to make a financial contribution.)
Yours faithfully
Mr Gareth Nation
Principal
