At Clapham Manor we believe enrichment gives our pupils chances to discover what they enjoy, what they care about and what they are good at. It helps them build confidence, make friends and feel part of something. Enrichment experiences support wellbeing, strengthen relationships and help our pupils build the skills, qualities and sense of direction that set them up for life. Enrichment is part of what helps our pupils grow, develop and live well, which is why we work to include as many enrichment opportunities in our school as possible.

  

We use the guidance in the Enrichment Benchmarks document (DfE, June 2026) as a starting point to ensure we offer our pupils a broad and balanced enrichment experience throughout their time at Clapham Manor Primary School.

As part of this, we map our enrichment offer against these five categories:

• Civic Engagement, for example volunteering, debating, school democracy, community engagement

• Arts and Culture, for example, taking part in and having live experience of music, art, dance, theatre, other expressive arts, visits to museums and galleries

• Nature, Outdoors and Adventure, for example time outdoors, climate education and sustainability projects, gardening, residentials and camps

• Sport and Physical Activities, for example participating in individual and team sports, physical activities like dance, fitness activities or cycling, representing the school, attending live events

• Developing Wider Life and Future Skills, for example digital literacy, STEM clubs, cooking, managing finances and enterprise
