We have developed a Friday afternoon Enrichment Programme designed to support our educational vision and build on the curriculum. This creative and dynamic programme is available to all children in school. We have longer school days on Monday to Thursday (08:30-3:30) to enable us to have dedicated Friday Enrichment afternoons, without any impact on classroom time.
On Fridays we have worked with the Hippodrome Education Network (HEN) in offering a drama group and Sports4Kids to offer a multi-sports club to allow those that want to stay past 2.30pm to remain in school with us.
Other after school clubs are have offered this year include Rugby, Netball, Shireland Voices (choir) and Tabla Drum lessons.
Enrichment
All of our pupils deserve a rounded and whole education that supports academic achievement, but also develops the ‘cultural capital’ that allows them to flourish in life, learning and work.
Enrichment is designed to enhance our curriculum further; we want our pupils to celebrate the joy that a broad curriculum can bring and expand horizons.
Our programme offers the chance for children to experience a broad range of high-quality activities across the year; from music, art and dance workshops to a variety of sports, science, technology and creative activities.
Our partners through the Trust mean that we have special relationships with renowned organisations such as Microsoft, Birmingham Hippodrome, SIPS Music and Sports4Kids.
There are also additional after-school clubs on Friday running until 3.30pm that children can choose to attend as well as a range of after-school clubs offered throughout the week.
