After review of standards and our provision, we have implemented a number of improvements to enable more children to reach the end of Key Stage 2 National Curriculum standards. As of 2019 / 2020, children in year 3 will receive a full year of weekly 1 hour swimming sessions at The Basildon Lower Academy. Previously, they attended for 2 terms for 30 minute weekly sessions. In addition to that, pupils in year 4, 5 and 6 who are not yet at the standard, will be provided with top up sessions. Currently, there are 41% of pupils in year 6 at the standard and based on year group data, we have set the following targets to be achieved by these year groups by the time they are in year 6:
- 50% Year 5
- 60% Year 4
- 70% Year 3
