Swim England launches a new tool to get more SEND pupils participating in school sport
Swim England has been proud to be involved in Inclusion 2020 – a project funded by DfE and led by Youth Sport Trust that aims to increase participation of SEND pupils in school sport.
Recent work has seen the release of a new School Swimming Assessment Tool. This is a free, downloadable tool designed to help schools and swimming lesson providers across the country work together to identify barriers to participation for SEND pupils and implement changes to improve the SEND provision in their local area. You can use the tool to guide your joint discussions to come up with solutions and then implement those solutions successfully.
There are now lots of instructional videos available to Swim England School Swimming and Water Safety Charter members to help guide you in what to look for in your pupils’ swimming ability (against the three key national curriculum outcomes) and monitor how they are progressing through the learning stages.
Swim England have also updated and refreshed their guidance for teachers, advising on use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium for swimming and water safety and how to report on pupil attainment figures.
