Curriculum Enrichment

Curriculum Enrichment and Cultural Capital at Gilbert Colvin

At Gilbert Colvin, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. We are committed to providing our pupils with enriching experiences that deepen their understanding, inspire curiosity, and broaden their perspectives. Our curriculum enrichment is carefully mapped out to complement the learning taking place in the classroom, ensuring that every activity ties into our pupils' academic development.

We organise a wide range of trips, workshops, visitors, and events that enhance the curriculum and help bring learning to life. These include educational visits to museums, theatres, and local attractions, as well as workshops and sessions led by experts in various fields. Author visits and assembly guests are regularly invited to engage with pupils, sharing their knowledge and experiences, and encouraging a love of reading and learning.

Cultural capital is a key aspect of our approach. By providing opportunities for pupils to engage with diverse cultures, ideas, and real-world experiences, we ensure that they are well-equipped to navigate and contribute to the wider world. Our enrichment activities aim to foster a sense of curiosity, creativity, and respect for others, supporting pupils in becoming well-rounded individuals with a deep understanding of the world around them.

Through these carefully planned and linked opportunities, we aim to create memorable experiences that enrich our pupils’ learning, helping them grow into confident and thoughtful individuals.
