Personal Development and Enrichment 

In addition to our well planned and comprehensive curriculum, our LSAs deliver interventions to support learning needs, SEMH and wellbeing. Our specialist teachers for PE, MfL and Music deliver a wide range of extra-curricular activities to develop and promote a love of music and sports, our children have the opportunity to perform outside of school and enter a wide range of competitions and events. All children in year 6 and have the opportunity to access a residential trip.

Our curriculum offer is designed to enhance pupils’ personal development and provide opportunities for talents and abilities to be identified and developed.

These opportunities occur not only through day-to-day teaching but through the wide range of after school clubs including art, sporting, music and well-being, often led by specialists. We encourage pupils to take on leadership roles; we have trained pupils as anti-bullying ambassadors and mental health champions.

All our year 6 pupils have positions of responsibility at lunch time.

We encourage our children to perform publicly through presenting to parents, sporting events and competitions or our choir singing at local community events and we perform at the O2 - Young Voices and the Thurrock Music Festival each year. We broaden pupils’ experiences where ever possible. We provide a wide range of school trips and field studies, enabling all pupils to broaden their Horizons and develop their understanding of and pride in their local area.
