My son is in year 5 so we've just started thinking about secondary schools and we have been doing the rounds of open evenings.
We're lucky (in some ways!) that where we live in SE London/Kent we have a good choice of schools, plus the opportunity for him to take the 11+ for a neighbouring borough.
He's hardworking and among the top of his class, and he's also really good at swimming. None of the schools we've seen - grammars, selectives or comps, mixed or single-sex - have swimming pools. It's not massively important of course as he swims a lot out of school, but I think it would be nice if he had the opportunity to swim for his school too. Just wondered if any of you wise lot know of any schools that DO have pools?
He often goes to galas held at local independent schools. I've had a look at some of the websites for schools he swims at, but I can't find any reference to specific swimming scholarships - they're just generally sporty ones. So, also, does anyone know of any schools that have swimming scholarships?
