Enrichment Offer

First Federation Trust Enrichment Offer

If a child spends their educational primary journey in one of our schools, they will have the opportunity to experience events outside of their time in the classroom. We believe in providing wider opportunities for the children in our care that complement their educational experiences.  

During their time in school our children will have the opportunity to -  

  • Perform in a setting outside of the school building 

  • Participate in a musical performance 

  • Participate in an art exhibition 

  • Watch a musical/drama production performed by professionals  

  • Participate in a sporting event held outside of the school premises 

  • Perform in the local community to support an event or facility e.g. care home 

  • Learn a musical instrument 

  • Participate in inter-school sports events (FFT and local schools) 

At St Andrew's CE Primary Academy, we have a bespoke Personal Development curriculum. We are proud to support all children to develop social awareness; strength of character; acceptance of others; and academic confidence. Our primary aim is to prepare children for the wider world so that they can have a strong sense of purpose and belonging, and so that they have the confidence to make their voices heard.

Children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. Our aim is to develop skills and attributes such as resilience, self-esteem, risk-management, team-working and critical thinking.

Our Personal Development curriculum includes small and simple activities such as learning to tie shoelaces, learning how to make a cup of tea and learning how to make a sandwich, through to larger tasks such as organising a charity fund-raiser, managing a small budget for a task, going on a residential trip or visiting a major city.

All our enriched curriculum is complemented by our wraparound care and clubs that are offered. We are happy to signpost children to local clubs, facilities etc if they are showing a particular interest or skill in the field of sport, art and music.  Please feel free to talk to any staff member who would be very happy to advise about this.
