Water
Safety is important to us, because
your child's safety is important to
us. |
As part
of our water safety awareness
programme, your child will receive
these
unique benefits: |
· A specific, age appropriate water
safety lesson which takes place on
the penultimate week of term.
Usually a time when holidays may be
taken and water awareness can be
vital if not lifesaving. |
· Water safety packs that include
fun yet important messages for
children and parents alike. |

Take
time to read the water advice
pamphlet put together by the

It contains important messages which
could help to prevent accidents
happening, which is our continual
mission. |
