Enrichment activities are planned into the learning day, as part of Core and Expert Learning.  Each phase will go on at least one trip each year.  These link in with our 2 year curriculum cycle.

In addition to this, all children take part in weekly Enrichment time. This takes place on a Friday afternoon. Members of staff run groups which they also enjoy themselves and children have the opportunity to take part in a different Enrichment activity each half term. 

Enrichment time broadens children’s experiences as they get to learn a new life skill which might not be taught directly in the classroom. Within this there is the opportunity to talk about future careers which could come of the new skills which they have learnt. For example, learning a new language might open up a door to a job within the travel industry, encourage them to want to visit different countries or make them more understanding and more aware of different cultures. Gardening might encourage children to go home and start a new hobby that can be therapeutic but also show them a different way of getting their food rather than just visiting the supermarket.

All of the children have commented on how much they enjoy their weekly enrichment time and it gives members of staff the opportunity to see children shine in different ways.
