This morning Key Stage 2 pupils participated in a water safety assembly conducted by Swim School Newham. As we approach the summer break, it is crucial to ensure that our children are equipped with the necessary knowledge to stay safe around water. The children were introduced to essential water safety concepts, including the meanings of various flag signals commonly seen at the beach or swimming pools. For instance, the red flag indicates that swimming is dangerous and should be avoided, while the yellow and red flags signify the presence of lifeguards who are monitoring the area for safety. Sharing of this information empowers our pupils to make informed decisions when encountering water environments. As a school we believe that raising awareness of water safety is of utmost importance, particularly as families prepare to engage in water-related activities over the summer months. We encourage you to discuss the key messages from the assembly with your children, reinforcing the significance of adhering to safety guidelines while enjoying their time by the water. We recommend that you supervise children closely during any water activities.
