Swimming
Leigh School is proud to be registered with the STA and follows their awards from Level 1-6 including the Self Rescue Award. This is a statutory subject and we take swimming seriously. Children in KS2 (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) attend swimming lessons at Castle Vale Swimming Baths.
Community Sport Links
At Leigh we think it is important to encourage children to attend after school and extra-curricular activities to continue their learning and socialise outside of school hours. Although we offer a lot of after-school clubs here at Leigh, there are also many outside agencies that offer clubs, we are working closely to get active links with a number of them for this year.
