Children will recognise the meaning in the opportunities presented to them and gain a deep sense of fulfilment from the challenges, opportunities and the success they are actively involved in over time.
The enactment of the curriculum will champion subjects and empower children to make the links from their learning in school to the wider world in which they live. Children will have opportunities to learn through subjects and make connections between subjects, this will enhance children’s understanding of their own sense of self and place in the world.
Where the curriculum is enriched through a wide curriculum offer and thoughtful opportunities that enhance the learning, there will be a positive impact on children’s intrinsic motivation and their deep understanding of the world around them. Examples of enrichment could include trips, visitors, clubs, outdoor provision e.g. Forest School, specialist teaching in music and sport, thematic weeks, charity and fundraising events.
