Enrichment that extends learning beyond the classroom
We are proud to offer a weekly enrichment programme that is a valued and distinctive part of life at our school. Designed to broaden experiences and inspire curiosity, this programme ensures every child benefits from a rich and well‑rounded education.
Enrichment takes place every Tuesday from 3:30–4:20pm and is mandatory for all pupils. This opportunity is made possible through the additional week built into our October half‑term, allowing us to invest time in high‑quality enrichment without reducing curriculum learning.
A broad range of inspiring activities
Our enrichment programme introduces children to activities they may not normally experience during the school day. These include:
- British Sign Language (BSL)
- First aid training
- Woodwork
- Dance
- Art and creative workshops
- Gardening and outdoor learning
- And many more
Each activity is designed to develop confidence, creativity, teamwork and essential life skills, while encouraging children to discover new interests and talents.
Fair access for every child
To ensure equality and breadth, children take part in one enrichment activity per term, changing activities each term. This means that over time, every pupil experiences all activities, gaining a wide range of skills and experiences as they progress through the school.
