Enrichment &

Intervention

Programme

2019-20

Dream Believe Achieve

Dear Parents and Pupils

Welcome to our Enrichment and Intervention curriculum programme.

On Thursday afternoons, we offer all of our pupils opportunities that will

enrich their education by building relationships through community involve-

ment and volunteering and achieving success in areas other than curricu-

lum subjects.

Each project has been linked to one of our school values: opportunity,

health, resilience, responsibility, respect, relationships and many of the

activities offered are not available in any other North Devon school. Many

of the activities are certificated or competition based which will enhance

future CVs and college/job applications. The variety of offers should

provide something for everyone whatever their interest.

Fundamentally, we want our pupils to become independent, resourceful

and responsible citizens of the future with broad experiences that enhance

their GCSE achievements to give them the widest opportunity for future

careers and life-long learning.

Yours sincerely,

Jacqui Royse

Deputy Headteacher

Welcome


Enrichment & Intervention 2019-20

Across the school year there will be three terms of enrichment and

intervention activities. Activities will run for 12 or 24 weeks and you will

need to choose your top three activities in each term.

Intervention will also happen during this time and some pupils will be

selected by curriculum areas to receive additional help and support with

individual subjects. All Year 11 pupils will be allocated intervention in term

3. This may be in addition to any other Maths, English or MFL intervention

they have been allocated in term 1 or 2.

You are strongly encouraged to choose a variety of activities, requests

submitted for more than one activity within the same area (i.e. sport, art,

etc) are unlikely to be granted.

We suggest that you read through all the offers first before making your

selections carefully. You need to complete the form at the back of the

booklet, making three choices in each term.

Allocations will be made on a first come first served basis from Friday 6th

July. Wherever possible we will endeavour to ensure that you receive your

first or reserve choices.
