Enrichment at Well Lane compliments our fantastic curriculum and takes place in a variety of ways, from exciting day trips, memorable residential trips, visitors, competitions and after school clubs.  Enrichment provides extended learning opportunities and challenges for our children outside of the normal classroom routine.  Through enrichment, our children develop a sense of self-awareness and often gain a better understanding of what they are learning in the classroom.  Enrichment promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, helps to improve concentration and makes learning more meaningful, valuable and rewarding.

Opportunities to further enhance our pupils' learning include:

Educational Visits and Residentials

At Well Lane, school trips and visits are an extremely important and integral part of our curriculum.  We value the opportunities that educational visits offer our pupils and the commitment of the staff and adults undertaking them.  Our trips are aimed at bringing learning alive and providing first-hand experiences for our pupils.  We also provide extra-curricular outings such as sporting events and attending or taking part in performances or competitions, particularly across our Trust schools.

Our Year 6 children are given the opportunity to attend a Residential Trip to Alton Towers in the Summer Term.

Visitors to School

Visitors have a valuable role to play and can contribute to many aspects of the life and work of the school.  Visitors deliver talks, workshops and full day activities across a wide range of subjects, giving pupils access to outside experiences and expertise. Visitors also provide our pupils with a link to the wider community – children have the opportunity to work alongside artists, musicians, authors, religious personnel, health professions, emergency service personnel and others.

Whole School Theme Days/Weeks

At Well Lane, we ensure that throughout the school year, themed days/weeks are included in the curriculum to extend the breadth and balance of opportunities we offer our pupils. These include, for example, Anti-bullying Week, E-Safety Day, Children's Mental Health Week, World Book Day, Children in Need Day, Black History Month, British Science Day and Cultural Diversity Day.
