Curriculum Enrichment
At Birch Hill, we believe enrichment is essential for developing children’s confidence, creativity, and teamwork, while broadening their experiences beyond the classroom.
We are proud to offer an wide range of enrichment activities that enhance and support children’s learning. Some of these opportunities are directly linked to our curriculum, while others – such as PE and Sport, Music, and performance – provide children with a broader experience.
We also work with external providers to offer additional activities, including sports clubs and wrap-around care before and after school.
Our enrichment offer includes:
- Visitors and Workshops – Drama workshops and guest speakers who bring learning to life.
- Educational Trips – Visits to local facilities, museums, and even the occasional castle!
- Performance Opportunities – Children take part in a variety of productions during their time at Birch Hill:
- Early Years and KS1: Christmas Nativity and Harvest Assembly
- Years 3 & 4: Easter play
- Year 6: End-of-year production
In addition to our curriculum-based enrichment, we provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including:
- School choirs for KS1 and KS2
- A variety of sports teams and events
- Access to a fully resourced library
- Opportunities for outdoor learning
You can find out more about our extra-curricular activities via the school office.

Every week, Kelly and her team in the kitchen run a cooking club for children in Year 3 & 4. During these sessions, children are taught some basis cooking skills from baking cakes, pizzas and soups - all of which are served to the children the following day. The sessions also teach the children the importance and benefits of healthy eating, a balanced diet and nutrition.
