Super Teaching Pilot

There have been fantastic results from the “Super Teaching Pilot” we conducted with a number of schools across the City.

The Super Teaching allows schools to bring 60 pupils all together for their swimming lesson; these sessions are delivered by 3 fully qualified swimming instructors.

The smaller ratio of pupil to instructor enables the pupils to be grouped more effectively on ability and tailored practices are suited to the needs of the particular group.

Results have shown that schools can increase their National Curriculum attainment from 54% up to 100% which is a phenomenal achievement. More Manchester schools are opting into this delivery method which is proving to be a huge success.
