🏆SWIMMER OF THE MONTH🏆

Congratulations to Tonylee, who has received our Swimmer of the Month Award for August!

Tonylee has been nominated by his instructor, Kitana, who said: 'I am exceptionally proud of the progress Tonylee has been making and it is so rewarding to see! He is excelling within his Learn to Swim Journey, working his way through the programme and it is progress that should definitely be celebrated!'

Fantastic work Tonylee, you're smashing it! 💙

New school uniform? Check. 🎒
New routine? Double check.

As the kids head back to the classroom, it’s also the perfect time to dive back into the pool! Swimming lessons build confidence, burn off that post-school energy, and teach a crucial life skill that lasts way beyond the school year.

Spots fill up fast every September—grab your little one's spot before they're gone! 🏊‍♂️✨

📚 Share the Magic of Reading! 🌟
A massive thank you to everyone who has donated so far, we have now extended our collection for the remainder of August! ♥️

Did you know that getting lost in a good story helps children make the leap from ‘learning to read’ to ‘reading to learn’?

We are thrilled to support childrensbookproject, a registered charity that redistributes new and gently used books to children and families across the UK.

To help out, we are running a Book Drive for the entire month! 🗓️

What we’re looking for: ✅ Good-condition, contemporary children’s books (printed in the last 10 years).

Please avoid: ❌ Ex-library, religious, foreign language, or textbooks (as these can’t be gifted onwards).

📍 How to donate: Simply drop off your books at Reception anytime this August!

Let’s come together to give kids the chance to read for pleasure. Thank you for your support! 💛📖
