Enrichment

Enrichment at Blakehill Primary School:

Empowering confidence, independence, resilience and future-prepared pupils through a curriculum aligned offer

Blakehill children love to volunteer for roles and responsibilities in school. Whether it is litter picking, gardening, being a librarian, a playtime buddy, prefect or a member of the School Council - we are all eager to make a difference and play a part in our school community.

Enrichment at Blakehill Primary School:

Empowering confidence, independence, resilience and future-prepared pupils through a curriculum aligned offer

At Blakehill Primary School, our motto "Together We Can" shapes everything that we do. Enrichment at Blakehill is not an add-on; it is an embedded, integral part of our everyday curriculum design, carefully implemented to ensure that EVERY single child, regardless of background or starting point, has access to experiences and opportunities that build, character, curiosity and strong values.

Our ambition is to eliminate potential barriers—including financial, transport, or SEND needs, to ensure our enrichment provision is fully inclusive and accessible to all pupils.
 
Blakehill Primary School's Offer is broad and rich and is strategically aligned to our:
 
  • PHSE / RSE Curriculum,
  • Behaviour Curriculum
  • Social Emotional Learning Curriculum
  • Safeguarding Curriculum
  • Sports Curriculum
  • Extra-Curricular Offer
  • Pastoral Offer
  • Information Technology Curriculum
 
Every experience is purposefully mapped to ensure that all Blakehill pupils develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and virtues that will prepare them for their future lives. For example:

 

  • our three outdoor activity residentials are designed to build independence, cooperation and  self-esteem 
  • opportunities such as School Council, School Librarians, Playtime Buddies, Garden Gang, Prefects and Litter Pickers promote responsibility, leadership and empathy pupils to cultivate responsibility, leadership, a sense of belonging and empathy
  • the 10-13 after school clubs offered each term foster physical, emotional and menta wellbeing and promote enjoyment, engagement, motivation and self-awareness; unlocking every child's potential to shine
  • the extensive calendar of visits, visitors, exhibitions and themed weeks integrated into our curriculum provide opportunity for self-expression, creativity and a celebration of uniqueness     
  • our community, collaborative and charity work promotes British Values, social responsibility, and an awareness of others 

We monitor our enrichment offer through participation tracking, pupil voice and analysis of attendance, behaviour and wellbeing data. This is used to inform our enrichment offer to ensure that it remains fluid and tailored to the needs of all Blakehill children.

 

Some club places are intentionally set aside, with staff inviting pupils from under-represented or vulnerable groups, for example, Inclusion Games and families supported to overcome barriers to accessing clubs. This targeted approach to widening access supports the school to align enrichment with their broader school priorities, including attendance, wellbeing and behaviour.

Visits are an integral part of our offer at Blakehill. Residentials, day visits, visitors or attending special events help us to extend and enrich our experiences of life outside of school.

Sport and physical activities are a prominent part of our offer at Blakehill Primary School. In addition to a wide range of sporting clubs, we host events for other schools across the district to become involved in. Inclusion being the heart of our work, Inclusion games activities, Linking Schools partnerships and inter and intra schools events are embedded in our school culture and practice.
Blakehill children are fully immersed in individual and team sports, physical activities like dance, fitness activities or cycling, representing the school locally, regionally and nationally ( Wembley 2024 and 2026) and attending live events.
