Cheetwood Primary
Enrichment
Opening up a world of experiences so every child can discover new interests, develop confidence and feel a sense of belonging.
At Cheetwood Primary School, we strongly believe that enrichment plays an important role in supporting children’s physical health, emotional well-being and confidence. It gives children opportunities to explore new interests, develop talents and experience the joy of learning in different ways.
Through sport, music, creative activities, clubs and shared celebrations, pupils learn to work together, express themselves and persevere when something feels challenging. Trying something new helps children recognise their strengths, take pride in their achievements and become more willing to have a go.
We want every child to feel included, valued and inspired by the opportunities available to them.
Our Vision.
Enrichment will be an integral part of our curriculum and personal development offer. We will provide every child with a rich range of experiences which broaden horizons, develop interests and build confidence, skills, character and a sense of belonging.
Our enrichment offer will reflect our school vision and the nine characteristics we want our children to develop:
C - Curious
H - Hopeful
E - Empowered
E - Enthusiastic
T - Tolerant
W – Willing to Try
O - Optimistic
O - Original
D - Diverse
Find a rhythm. Try a new challenge.
Making music and being active gives children different ways to express themselves, work with others and build confidence through practice.
Music opportunities
Our music opportunities include guitar lessons and opportunities to play the ukulele and xylophone. Exploring rhythm, melody and musical patterns helps children develop listening skills, coordination and creativity. Learning an instrument encourages patience and perseverance, with every small step giving children something to feel proud of.
Singing together
Whole-school singing sessions bring our school together through music. Children develop their voices, listen to one another and experience the enjoyment of making music as a group. Shared singing helps pupils build confidence in expressing themselves and strengthens their sense of belonging.
Sport & movement
Taking part in sport supports children’s physical health and emotional well-being. It helps pupils develop teamwork, cooperation and resilience while enjoying being active.
We want children to try a wide range of activities, discover what they enjoy and develop positive habits that can continue beyond school.
