Curriculum Enrichment & Cultural Capital

Below is an overview of the curriculum enrichment and enhancement activities we do. They include external trips, visits and visitors, events hosted by school and specific assemblies. Curriculum enrichment is important as it enhances children academically and challenges them. The experiences outside of the usual curriculum time and structure help shape our children into well rounded, critical thinkers who are ready for the next steps in the learning.
