Free teaching resources to educate your children on water safety.

Looking for a way of educating and entertaining young people during these challenging times, while at the same time teaching fundamental water safety skills? Want to build in time to prepare your young people with beach and water safety skills ahead of the summer? Then why not take advantage of our free water safety teaching activities, that are available to you now and throughout the summer term.

The materials have been designed to be fun and engaging, combining videos, problem-solving activities and guided discussions. Not only will they get children's brains working, the activities also pass on invaluable water safety advice. Something that will stay with children and help them safely enjoy the beach and water for many years to come.

All the activities have been carefully put together by the RNLI Water Safety Team and have been specifically tailored for primary and secondary school aged children. You can access all the materials by clicking here.

NSPCC have got a wealth of resources, advice and support for parents and carers - whether you're working from home with your kids for the first time or supporting your children with anxiety due to coronavirus.

Although no physical events will be taking place, our team of School Games Organisers have been working tirelessly to create a series of brand new 'Virtual Competitions', available for all students to take part in to remain active, continue competing and keep smiling!

Over the next few weeks there will be 5 different virtual competitions young people can take part in. All competitions have been designed for both primary & secondary pupils, and adapted for those pupils who are still in school as well as those who are at home.

All competitions will be running until July 10th, after which there will be a celebration recognising all that took part.
