Opportunities to Shine at Stelling Minnis!
“Enrichment can offer new and exciting skills, bring opportunities that many children and young people would not experience otherwise, boost mental and physical health, and even protect some vulnerable from harm. Some children who may otherwise not go to school, can be encouraged to attend by the offer of enrichment activities." Baroness Anne Longfield, Executive Chair of the Centre for Young Lives
At Stelling Minnis we recognise the importance of enrichment activities to support the personal development, wellbeing and learning of all our children.
Therefore, our enrichment and cultural capital activities are woven into our curriculum as well as being an integral part of our farm, forest and extra curricular offer.
Teachers carefully select "opportunities to shine" for the children to enhance our curriculum offer and as a whole school we plan in activities and clubs for the children, reflecting the needs of the current cohort.
More information may be found on our curriculum, farm and forest areas of the website but as an overview we offer:
