Swimming
Throughout the 2020/21 Academic Year, St Catherine’s has continued to work extremely hard to give the best provision for the children in swimming. Starting in Year 1 and 2, we develop early Water Confidence and in Year 3 and 4, look to achieve National Curriculum.
88% of our Year 4 children achieved National Curriculum Standard, compared to 58% in Sheffield and 68% nationally. This was achieved through effective teaching in Year 4, and then specific catch up lessons with a swimming coach for those children who entered Year 5 or 6 without having achieved National Curriculum Standard.
SEND Swimming is included in our provision. This is targeted at children in Key Stage 2, alongside their support work on specific Swimming Skills, leading to real success for these children.
We developed a SEND swimming team, which has taken part in events and competitions:
March 2019 at Ponds Forge winners ‘Top South Yorkshire Primary School SEN Swimming Team’
May 2019 at Ponds Forge 3rd place North of England U14’s Regional Final
In November 2019 the team is taking part in the England U14’s National Finals at the Aquatic Centre, Olympic Park, London
