What is enrichment at St Hild’s
At St Hild’s, enrichment and co-curricular activities play a vital role in broadening pupils’ experiences within and outside of school time. Our extensive range of clubs and activities encourages pupils to explore new interests, develop skills, and build a strong sense of community, contributing valuably to their achievement, enjoyment and personal development. These opportunities encourage pupils to develop their existing skills whilst encouraging them to develop new ones. With clubs running before school, during lunchtime, and after school, pupils have multiple opportunities to get involved. The current sporting programme provides physical activity and teamwork experiences for all year groups and our creative industries programme encourages pupils to develop personal expression. There is also a host of opportunities for pupils to become part of the pupil leadership teams from librarians and school of sanctuary ambassadors to sports leaders and house captains. Regional, national and international visits are also very much a part of life at St Hild’s.
We ensure that all pupils, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with additional learning needs, can access and benefit from enrichment activities. Every pupil at St Hild’s has access to a wide variety of enrichment activities and we continuously aim to remove barriers to participation and enable all pupils to engage with enrichment in a way that suits them. Pupil voice is at the heart of our enrichment programme, with clubs evolving based on interest and demand. Pupils are encouraged to suggest new activities and take leadership roles within clubs, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement. Staff play an active role in running and developing clubs, sharing their expertise and passions to create engaging experiences.
