It is an Ofsted requirement that all schools publish how many of their year 6 pupils have achieved the national curriculum (NC) key stage 2 swimming requirement. The schools swimming and water safety standards test is a standardised test that measures whether a child possesses the knowledge and the skills to enable them to be safe in and around the water and to potentially rescue themselves from a life threatening situation. The belief behind it being that every 11-year old child should leave primary school with the skills to keep themselves safe while enjoying swimming with friends and family. Measuring this requirement is vital to ensure that schools are able to effectively target their swimming provision to meet these standards but also for parents to be aware of their children’s swimming ability and to help take an active role in ensuring their child’s safety around water environments.
