It is compulsory for all students to attend Swimming Sports from 1.00pm to 2.50pm on Thursday 11 February 2021 (weather permitting). Students not entered in competitive events will attend school at the normal time of 8.45am. On the afternoon, form teachers will walk with their classes to the Lido. All students who are not competitors can participate in the inter-house tabloid competition. These are fun events and attract many entries. We encourage students to participate in as many of these events as possible as all entries gain points for the inter-house competition.
All students will be dismissed from the pool at 2.50pm to return to school or make their way home. Students must NOT ride bikes or drive cars to the Lido.
