Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total number of schools that do not have access to a swimming pool to provide swimming and water safety lessons.
The department does not collect data on pupils’ swimming ability on leaving primary or secondary school or on schools’ access to swimming pools. By 31 July 2023, all schools in receipt of the primary PE and Sport premium are required to publish the percentage of their pupils in year 6 who met each of the three swimming and water safety national curriculum expectations.
