Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
It enables pupils to experience the delights of our world through child centred play, discovery, and exploration, promoting activities that stimulate the imagination, creativity and investigation. Here, pupils can take risks safely, take care of themselves and other pupils. Learning is based on the process rather than focusing on an end result and takes place at the pupil’s individual chosen pace.

Outdoor Learning
Nature provides shapes, colours, textures, fragrances, and sounds, which can be incorporated into lessons. In addition, our school allotments enable pupils to grow their own produce and use it in a range of different sessions throughout the school week, e.g., counting, cooking, exploration, problem solving.
Forest School
Forest School sessions are carried out in a ‘non-classroom’ environment, whether this is onsite in our Forest School area or in the local woods. There are lots of opportunities for personalised learning, with some elements of structure. By providing pupils with time and space to explore, this empowers pupils to take charge of their own learning, choosing what they wish to engage with.
