Dear All,It is a statutory obligation that schools provide swimming on the curriculum for all children, but this is usually only during KS2.? Due to our onsite pool facility, all Colleton pupils from Foundation to Year 6 are able to benefit from curriculum swimming during the summer term without having to?pay to go to a local pool.? We would like to ask each family to make a voluntary contribution of ?25 to become a member in order to cover the cost of curriculum swimming for the Summer 2018 season.The school swimming pool was built by the Colleton CSA/PTA in 1975.? Today it is run and financially maintained by the Colleton PTA for the benefit of the Colleton School pupils and their families.? Having a pool onsite saves time and costs as it means our children don’t have to travel to receive curriculum swimming lessons.? We do all we can to keep pool maintenance costs down (including cleaning and staffing the pool ourselves) and we believe that ?25 is a fair and reasonable donation from each family to help run the pool.? We appreciate your support and voluntary contribution.Families who become members of the Colleton Swimming Pool receive additional benefits and will be able to:Swim during Monday-Friday out-of-school-hours, weekends and holidaysParticipate in the Summer Crash courses Rent the pool for Private HireIt is anticipated that as a minimum, the pool will be open every day after school between 3.30pm and 4.30pm during the summer term.?
