Enrichment at Anns Grove is a central part of school life. We believe it gives children opportunities to explore new interests, build confidence, and develop skills beyond the classroom. By offering a rich variety of experiences, we help every child grow not just academically, but personally and socially too, growing their cultural capital and developing their sense of self and character.
Here are some of the ways in which we provide enriching experiences to our pupils:
- A rich and varied programme of school trips, including residentials, which enable our pupils to get to know Sheffield and the wider area while deepening their learning at a range of important historical, geographical, scientific or cultural sites.
- Regular visits into school for workshops and activities from experts and volunteers, including students from the University of Sheffield.
- A range of free extra-curricular after-school clubs. Our sporting offer is extensive from hockey, cricket, dance to cross country to name just a few.
- Opportunities for pupils to take on jobs and responsibilities, including ‘reading champion’, ‘sports leader’ and ‘school council’.
- Seasonal performances including nativities, choir concerts, and musical showcases, including working alongside Sheffield Theatres for bespoke performances.
- Weekly slots for peripatetic music lessons.
- Regular trust-wide art projects and competitions with other schools in Mercia Learning Trust.
