WE BELIEVE THAT AS WELL AS LEARNING THROUGH A BROAD AND BALANCED, TRADITIONAL CURRICULUM, OUR STUDENTS SHOULD BE EXPOSED TO ALL KINDS OF LEARNING AND EXPERIENCES THROUGH OUR EXCITING ENRICHMENT

2 Summer Enrichment Week HERE AT BECCLES FREE SCHOOL, WE BELIEVE IN PROVIDING A FOUNDATION FOR LIFE. OUR AIM IS TO PROVIDE AN ALL-ROUND EDUCATION WHICH INSPIRES OUR STUDENTS TO DEVELOP A LOVE OF LEARNING FOR LIFE. WE BELIEVE THAT AS WELL AS LEARNING THROUGH A BROAD AND BALANCED, TRADITIONAL CURRICULUM, OUR STUDENTS SHOULD BE EXPOSED TO ALL KINDS OF LEARNING AND EXPERIENCES THROUGH OUR EXCITING ENRICHMENT CURRICULUM. Our enrichment curriculum takes place as part of our school week (on Wednesday afternoons) and at the end of each term. At the end of the Michaelmas and Lent Terms, Enrichment Days engage our students in activities that are fun, memorable and exciting ends to an intense period of learning. The Lent Term Enrichment Day is particularly geared also to enterprise and team learning. At the end of the Trinity Term, our Summer Enrichment Week takes place. This full week provides the opportunity for long term engagement for our students in something that is of interest to them or to immerse themselves in something new! Mrs S Govender Head of School
