Enrichment

At Kirkdale St Lawrence, enrichment is at the heart of our ANCHOR Curriculum: Achievement, Nurturing, Culture, Oracy and Reading, and Respect for All.
We want every child to enjoy a wide range of experiences that help them discover new interests, build confidence and develop the cultural capital they need to broaden their horizons and raise their aspirations. We will use the DfE’s eight Enrichment Benchmarks to help us reflect on our provision, ensure it is accessible to all and continually develop the opportunities we offer our children.
We are very lucky to have the beautiful city of Liverpool on our doorstep, and we want our children to experience and feel proud of all that their city has to offer. Our school minibus will be out every week, taking children beyond the school gates to explore museums, galleries, theatres, parks, sporting venues, historic places and community spaces. Alongside the enrichment opportunities we provide in school, these experiences will bring our ANCHOR Curriculum to life, giving every child opportunity to explore, participate, belong and Aim High.
