Swimming

Confidence. Skill. Lifelong Strength.

At Grange Park School, swimming is not an occasional activity — it is a core part of our Physical Education provision.

With access to our own heated swimming pool, pupils benefit from consistent, high-quality instruction delivered in a safe, supportive and structured environment.

A Transformational Impact

Since introducing swimming from Year 4 onwards, we have seen a significant improvement in outcomes.

The majority of our pupils now leave school able to:

  • Swim at least 25 metres confidently

  • Demonstrate strong water safety awareness

  • Perform a range of strokes with control

  • Show resilience and composure in the water

Regular access to our own pool has allowed us to dramatically improve attainment in swimming — ensuring children leave us with an essential life skill.
 

Why Our Pool Makes the Difference

Having an on-site heated pool means:

  • Weekly, uninterrupted swimming lessons

  • Small-group instruction and targeted support

  • Rapid progress tracking

  • No lost learning time through travel

  • Year-round access in a comfortable environment

This consistency builds confidence quickly — particularly for less experienced swimmers.

Beyond the Curriculum

Swimming at Grange Park extends beyond lesson time.

We offer:

✔ After-school swimming clubs
✔ Stroke development sessions
✔ Water confidence support for beginners
✔ Opportunities for pupils to refine competitive skills

These additional sessions allow children to progress further and develop genuine enjoyment of the sport.

Community and Family Swimming

We believe swimming is a life skill that benefits the whole family.

At weekends, we provide opportunities for:

  • Parents to swim with their children

  • Younger siblings to build early water confidence

  • Less confident swimmers to practise in a relaxed setting

These sessions strengthen both skills and community relationships.

Building Confidence for Life

Swimming develops far more than physical ability.

It nurtures:

  • Courage

  • Determination

  • Self-belief

  • Focus

  • Healthy lifestyle habits

At Grange Park School, our swimming provision ensures children leave not only academically prepared, but physically confident and equipped with a lifelong skill.
