Enrichment Programme

At Forrees Sandle Manor, our Enrichment Programme is designed to be a fundamental part of helping pupils to be happy and successful, and contributes to their outstanding personal development. We believe that pupils need to have dedicated time at the start of each day to learn something new, experience something that further readies them for life beyond education. This is why we created our Enrichment Programme.

To achieve this, all of our Senior School pupils begin their day with lesson one as an Extended Curriculum (‘Enrichment’) session. Every term, all Senior School pupils can choose from a huge range of sessions (1 per day), which often bring pupils with similar passions together from different year groups.

For our pupils, the Enrichment Programme has several benefits:

1. It provides them with a chance to start every day (when teenagers are often least likely to learn effectively in a classroom setting), with an activity they have chosen. A great way to start every day at school!

2. Socially, it enables them to spend time and make friends with peers from different year groups who enjoy the same interests.

3. For older pupils, it provides meaningful opportunities to develop and show leadership. For those in the younger years, seeing older role models gives them something to aspire to.

4. Every pupil can enjoy weekly sessions for at least a term, enabling each to have a purposeful outcome, for example, a performance or additional qualification.
