Curriculum Enrichment

Supplementing the core nuts and bolts of the curriculum is a commitment to develop enrichment opportunities wherever possible. This, after all, is key to developing a love of learning and has a significant impact on so many areas of school life. Enrichment opportunities allow children to reflect on their learning and develop their recall of knowledge through good old plain and simple FUN!

One of our core curriculum enrichment opportunities is our termly trip to the Heart of England Forest where we capitalise on areas of learning such as living things, map work and land use, bush craft/survival skills. 

An example of the progression in forest school skills is available here.

Eco-Club, run by Mrs McStrafick adds yet another layer to children's engagement with the natural world around us.

Their plans for the current academic year are here.

Further to this, we have registered and begun the evaluation for the Eco-Schools Green Flag, an internationally recognised award for excellence in environmental action and learning.

In addition, we have enjoyed the following trips and visitors over the last academic year and are building in further enrichment opportunities to enhance our new Great Alne Curriculum.

• Author visit from Cat Weatherill
• Trip to the Black Country Museum
• Author visit and library opening by Myles McLoed
• Piano lessons for all children in the Piano Lab
• Trip to Drayton Manor Park
• Trip to Warwick Castle
• Theatre Trip to The Palace
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory production by Alcester Academy
• Keep Fit with the residents of Great Alne Park for Children in Need.

We are proud of the work we have done and will continue to do to make learning at Great Alne Primary as vibrant as possible. If you have any questions about the curriculum, please email: admin2024@welearn365.com
