🌊 Year 6 Pupils Achieve Rookie Lifeguard Qualification 🏅

We were delighted to be invited to take part in a trial project alongside Chichester University, giving our pupils the opportunity to develop vital water safety and lifesaving skills through the Rookie Lifeguard programme.

During a series of after-school sessions, the children learned how to help someone in difficulty in the water, CPR, and how to place someone in the recovery position – invaluable skills that could one day help save a life.

We are incredibly proud that 26 of our Year 6 pupils achieved their Level 3 Rookie Lifeguard qualification. They were each presented with certificates, badges and a towelling robe to recognise their fantastic achievement.

A huge thank you to Mrs Howl, part of our Sports team, and Debbie Weston (RLSS UK Rookie Instructor and Assessor) for their expertise and support throughout the programme. We would also like to thank Sarah Don for joining our Dream Big, Shine Bright assembly to present the children with their certificates and robes.

Well done to all of the children involved – you have shown fantastic commitment, maturity and teamwork. We are very proud of you all! 👏
