Swimming at Frimley Mrs Romp Swimming Instructor
Swimming Frimley children are very lucky to swim weekly. However they are not permitted to use the pool in the following circumstances: • If they have an open wound. • If they are wearing a first aid plaster. • If they have had a stomach upset they will not be allowed to swim for two weeks afterwards, in the interest of all children using the pool. • If they are taking a course of antibiotics.
Swimming Kit Boys will need a pair of fitted swimming trunks. Not shorts. This is a safety guideline. Girls will need a one-piece swimsuit. No bikinis or tankinis. All children must wear a named waterproof (latex or silicone) swim hat.
Homework Children will receive weekly homework . English and Maths will be given out on a Wednesday to be handed back on the Monday. Topic homework may be set each term. Spellings and times tables are completed regularly at school and you will be notified if your child needs any extra at home. Please help your child get into good habits, by completing and handing in work on time.
Communication Please keep up-to-date with news and events at Frimley through: the school website and reading our school newsletters. Autumn term parent consultations. If you have any concerns, see the class teacher at the end of the day or make an appointment via the school office.
Lunchtimes Lunchtime is from 12.00pm - 1.00pm. We have some children in school with severe nut and egg allergies. Please be mindful of this when preparing your child’s lunch box, as we cannot allow any nut products, including cereal bars and Nutella.

School visits and visitors School visits and visitors really help the children to learn. Last year, children in Year 3 enjoyed: A walk around the local area, speakers from the local community and visits to Butser Ancient Farm and Marwell Zoo. These can only be run with sufficient voluntary contributions - please support us to ensure more wonderful opportunities can take place again this year.
