Junior Enrichment Programme

Our bespoke enrichment programme is part of our commitment to providing an exceptional education which is broad, inspiring and takes our pupils beyond the limits of the classroom. We are proud of the wide scope our activities cover, which enable our pupils to explore their passions and strive for holistic excellence in a range of areas.

Enrichment Topics

Presenters’ Programme

Our Presenters’ Programme empowers pupils to become articulate and confident communicators by guiding them through the process of creating and delivering presentations on subjects close to their hearts. This immersive experience not only hones their public speaking skills but also instils a sense of ownership and pride in their chosen topics. The programme takes the form of Rhyme & Reason in Year 4 and the CPQ (Crosfields Project Qualification) in Year 6.

Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Programme

Our innovative Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Programme inculcates negotiating skills, risk taking and solution-focussed approaches. We exploit our extensive links with local professionals and businesses providing talks, workshops and hands-on learning experiences. From role-playing careers, to growing their own business incorporating wealth management, we equip our pupils with a self-confidence and resourcefulness to develop character and prepare them for the future workplace.

Performance

Our Performance activity is a vibrant platform for pupils to explore and express their creative potential. This activity encompasses various forms of artistic expression, from theatrical productions to musical performances and dance routines. Pupils learn discipline, collaboration, and dedication while developing skills that go beyond the stage. 

Cookery

Cookery serves as a dynamic platform for students to immerse themselves in the art of cooking and culinary creativity. Through hands-on experiences in the kitchen, students develop essential life skills, cultural awareness, and a deep appreciation for the culinary arts.

Volunteering

Our Volunteering at a Local Care Home activity creates a bridge between generations, fostering meaningful connections and nurturing empathy through interactions with elderly residents. This hands-on experience encourages pupils to give back to their community while gaining invaluable life lessons from the wisdom and stories of older generations. 

Forest School

Our Forest Schools programme is a child-centred and inspiring learning process that unlocks holistic growth opportunities through regular sessions. Rooted in a long-term approach, this programme embraces play, exploration, and supported risk-taking, developing confidence and self-esteem through hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

British Sign Language

The British Sign Language activity offers pupils a unique journey into the world of non-verbal communication, establishing connections and understanding through the power of signing. This immersive experience enables pupils to embrace inclusivity and bridge communication gaps through a rich and expressive visual language.
