Pupil Progression

  1. All pupils on the Learn to Swim Programme work towards the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework.
  2. Swimming Teachers continually assess all pupils’ progression.
  3. Progression of all pupils will be at the judgement of the Swimming Teacher and in accordance with the progression within the criteria of the Swim England Learn to Swim framework.
  4. Pupils will be moved up to the next class when they meet the skills criteria required and if there is adequate room in the next Stage class.
  5. Upon completion of a Stage, the parent/guardian will be contacted explaining that the child is ready to move up to the next Stage via email/phone. Where Home Portal is available, parents can login and make the required movement.
  6. A valid email address is required to access Home Portal movements and assessments.
  7. Due to the continuous progressive nature of our programme, and the variety of ability levels within each session, we cannot guarantee a specific time slot on progression, as a space within the next Stage may not always be immediately available. Those waiting for spaces will be kept in their current Stage until a place becomes available.

Behaviour & Conduct

  1. Parents accept that their child is under the supervision, control and care of the Swimming Teacher, during the lesson period. Should the behaviour of the child be unsatisfactory, and the class is being disrupted, the Swimming Teacher has the right to remove the pupil from the class.
  2. The Teacher may employ reasonable measures as are necessary to maintain the smooth delivery of the class. We reserve the right to request that your child should be removed from classes should they persistently disrupt or are seen to be putting themselves or anyone else at risk during the class. If a child is removed under these circumstances, parent/guardian may request a refund by emailing nsc@gov.im.
