Enrichment & Activities

Enrichment and Cultural Capital

Enrichment has changed and developed a lot at Cromer, and we are always looking for new ways to deliver this vitally important part of our curriculum.

Pupils are able to access a wide variety of experiences and develop the knowledge and skills required for them to go confidently into the next stage of their lives. Our afterschool enrichment programme is designed to help promote the life-skills needed for everyday life, develop “soft skills” such as communication skills and teamwork that employers frequently claim they need, while also giving pupils the opportunity to challenge themselves and find out more about their interests and passions.

Our programme is based around either the chance to volunteer, developing a new skill or taking part in a physical activity. For example, pupils could take part in an enrichment to develop their depth of interest in a certain subject (e.g. Performing Arts, Design and Technology or P.E.) or to try something completely new (e.g. Cooking, Fencing, Chess, Surfing or building drones). There are  some opportunities (e.g. the Duke of Edinburgh) to obtain extra qualifications or awards.

Enrichment is a fantastic way to increase pupils’ enjoyment of school life and create an inclusive, community spirit within the school. Taking part in enrichment activities develops skills that prepare pupils for life and the next stages of their education. Encouraging pupils to get involved in school life helps create a community ethos which we see as essential.
