Enrichment / After School Activities

Enrichment/After School Activities

As an academy we believe that learning does not just take place in the classroom or indeed during school hours and offer every child in the Academy (Nursery in the Summer Term only) the opportunity to join one of our many Enrichment activities.

Childrens University

The Children’s University is an International critically-acclaimed charity which encourages all children aged 5 to 14 years to try new experiences, develop new interests and acquire new skills through participation in innovative and creative Learning Activities outside of the school day.

• Raise aspirations, self-esteem & confidence
• Encourage curiosity and a love of learning
• Enhance motivation and build resilience
• Introduce new life experiences
• Offer progression in learning and personal skills development

In Year 1 children are issued with a ‘passport to learning’ which will be a record of the amount of hours spent in after school clubs.  It is the learning hours (credits) achieved that lead to the award of a Children’s University Certificate.  (Being a member of the children’s University costs us £5 each, so the passports are kept in school to avoid you having to pay for a replacement)
 
At Inspirational Learning Academies Trust children are awarded 10 credits each term for each after-school club they attend. They can also gain credits for educational visits, being on a class council e.g.: school council, visits to museum events, and activities they take part in out of school like swimming lessons, a football team or dance lessons (please let me know the details for these activities)
