Enrichment

It is our school philosophy that children learn best from first hand experiences. No child will remember pages 8 or 9 of a text book and no former pupil has ever stopped their teacher and personally thanked them for the worksheet they gave them to complete! However children do remember well planned and thought out enrichment activities such as school visits, workshops and theatre company visits.

Staff plan enrichment activities within all year groups to enhance our curriculum still further as well as to give the children experiences that they may well not be able to get within school.

Each year there are a vast array of enrichment activities in school which help to make the children's learning real. These are an integral part of our school curriculum and bring learning to life in a wide range of contexts.

Members of staff often give up their weekends and holidays to visit locations before the trip takes place and attend outdoor educational experiences to ensure that the children's learning experience is maximized.
