Other Information 

Welcome to Year Two!

 Our PE days for Spring 2 and Summer 1 are Thursday and Friday 

Swimming

We are very fortunate to have an outdoor pool which allows all of our pupils to swim during the summer term. This year, swimming lessons at Heather Ridge will start commencing in June and each child in Year two will be offered one thirty-minute lesson each week giving a total of SIX lessons per child for Year 2.

Each year group is split into five swimming groups of similar ability; a mixture of the two classes, boys and girls. Year Two day for 2025 is Friday morning (AM).

Lessons are carried out by fully qualified instructors from Otters Swim Academy.

Swimming hats are compulsory for all children. Goggles are not to be worn unless there is a medical requirement, this is because we place on emphasis on learning water safety skills - a child is unlikely to be wearing goggles when falling accidentally in the water. If your child has a medical requirement for goggles, could you please provide a letter from your GP outlining the reason.
