Georgia, Jack, Lily, Luca, Messie and Wesley will compete against the best primary school aged swimmers in the country at the state-of-the-art Forge Ponds International Sports Centre in Sheffield later this month.
“We are exceptionally proud of our swimmers, who thoroughly deserve a place at the Primary Team Championships,” Head of Highfield, Mr James Savile, said.
“To earn a place in the finals from over 20 schools at the North East qualifier is a testament to the team’s hard work and the dedication of our talented swimming coaches.
“Competing on a national stage will provide invaluable experience for the young swimmers, who are looking forward to testing themselves against the strongest primary school teams in the country,” he said.
Pupils in all year groups have weekly swimming lessons in the school’s on-site pool, run by Highfield’s accredited swimming coaches. Highfield also recently held its inaugural Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds Week, which reflects Highfield’s dedication to developing healthy young people through a balanced and enriching educational experience. These initiatives build on the successful Fundamental Movement Skills Programme which was launched in 2025.
