Sport Premium
As part of the 2012 Olympic Legacy, the government has been providing schools with additional funding to promote sport and exercise in schools. All projects must have a direct benefit for our current pupils and a sustainable element to benefit pupils in the future.

Swimming at Talbot
As well as being an enjoyable form of exercise, swimming is a life skill; therefore, we try to ensure that every child reaches the primary school standard set out in the National Curriculum: being able to swim 25m, perform a range of strokes and to be competent at self-rescue.
The core of our offer is in Year 4, where we provide 1-hour lessons, each week, at Scott Hall Leisure Centre. These extended sessions allow children to develop their strength and stamina and strength, alongside their technical proficiency, and all weaker swimmers are provided specialist teaching. Last year 82% of children left Talbot being able to swim to this standard or better, compared to the national average of 73%.
We support our non-swimmers further by signposting them to opportunities in the local area, and by targeting them with the free, holiday swimming vouchers, provided by Active Leeds.
