Curricular enrichment

As part of our curriculum offer, our children have an enrichment session each week. These sessions are linked to the national curriculum and allow the children to broaden their experiences or study an aspect of the curriculum in more depth. Take a look at our enrichment offer below.

We have found that children do not have general subject knowledge about a range of faiths and this is affecting their ability to engage fully with RE lessons. Enrichment will give the children a depth of knowledge in different faiths.

Year 1: Christianity

Year 2: Judaism

Year 3: Hinduism

Year 4: Islam

Year 5: Sikhism

Year 6: Buddhism

To include a visit by a practicing member of the faith community and a visit to a place of worship.
