Our Friday Personal Development Enrichment Curriculum
On Friday afternoons, we have an 'enrichment' session. We feel it is important to prepare our pupils for their lives beyond our school and so have built into our curriculum provision six sessions that will give our pupils the skills that they need to succeed in the future.
Over the year the pupils will have have the chance to experience each session. The six sessions are: cooking, mindfulness (Yoga), outdoor learning, safety, gardening and musical instruments.
The pupils are split into six mixed-aged groups each named after one of our Christian Values.

Gardening
There is something special about growing your food and we want our pupils to have the skills and understanding of where food comes from and how e can provide for ourselves through gardening. The children have grown some of their own fruit and vegetables as well as tending to the upkeep of our school grounds and garden.
