Enrichment

Here at WOA we passionately believe that it is the right of every child to have access to a curriculum that is designed not only to educate and prepare them for a successful future, but also to broaden their horizons and shape them as individuals. We believe that an important part of this is to give our students the opportunity to enjoy experiences outside the classroom. This includes time outside, away from school enjoying the beauty that nature has to offer, visiting a range of cultural sites, enjoying a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities as well as working to help others in the communities around us.

We want every pupil to feel they belong and to be empowered and equipped to overcome barriers and to know that there is a world of opportunities out there for them.

Enrichment forms an important element of our Personal Development offer which is delivered through 3 key principles:

  1. Belonging – Our House System, Student Leadership & Voice
  2. Philanthropy – Giving back to our community
  3. Experiences – Enrichment opportunities

This is our pledge. It is an entitlement for all pupils. It is not a reward or incentive.

You will:

 • Have the opportunity to visit a theatre, museum, historical or religious site,

• Have the opportunity to visit the countryside, coast or other geographical location,

• Have the opportunity to take part in a Social Action project, such as fundraising for a charity or good cause,

  • Have the opportunity to join a nationally recognised organisation such as the Royal Marine Cadets and Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
  • • Have the opportunity to broaden their experiences and enable them to develop their talents and interests in areas including the performing arts, music, sports and creative arts.
