The school will fund the cost of the swimming tuition and we are asking for parents to contribute for the transport only which will be a cost of £30.00. Please visit: www.scopay.com/eastoverprimary to log in to your Child’s Scopay account where you can make payment by Wednesday 4^th September 2024 If insufficient contributions are made towards transport costs, we may have to consider alternative arrangements i.e. walking to and from the swimming pool.

Swimming forms a crucial and compulsory part of the children’s P.E. curriculum and is a ‘life-skill’ that children need for their own safety.  We hope that you will be able to support the school in fulfilling the swimming programme by ensuring that your child has a swimming kit with them on swimming days.

Yours sincerely
