URGENT Help Needed at School – As many of you know we are lucky enough to have a swimming pool at school where the children learn to swim during the summer term.

Unfortunately, Lincs Education have informed the school that unless the school find somebody with the following qualification the pool will have to be closed & all swimming cease which would be an awful shame for the children.  So, if you are a qualified lifesaver, or if you are prepared to undertake a 2 day course & test, and could volunteer your services to school for approximately 6 hours a week, during the summer term. The school would love to hear from you. Certificate needed “ Royal Life Saving Society National Rescue Award”

PLEASE, PLEASE if you have the time consider helping out Tel: Mr D Webster 363226
