Enrichments & Intervention

Enrichment Exchange

Enrichment Exchange is an integral part of our curriculum here at Harris Academy Falconwood. It aims to provide your children with an opportunity to explore new experiences and develop valuable skills beyond our standard classroom offer. Enrichment Exchange takes place every Monday from 3.15pm to 4.05pm and is a compulsory part of our school curriculum.

We believe this is an essential time for our students to learn new skills and develop interests beyond our formalised taught curriculum offers. Furthermore, students also have the opportunity to interact with different students who share their interests and helping to develop cooperation, tolerance and respect.

The table below outlines our themes for our current Enrichment Exchange schedule. Each year group engages a specific theme and has three different enrichments in this theme.

Year Theme Enrichment 1 Enrichment 2 Enrichment 3
Year 7 Building Character Identity of Self: Who We Are? Debating: Everyday Heroes and Villians One Voice: The Power of Communication
Year 8 Serving Our Community Force for Change: Philanthropy and Random Acts of Kindness  Campaign for Justice Debating: How do we Best Serve Each Other, Our Community, Our World? 
Year 9 Broadening our Horizons Massive Events for Change: How Cultural and Historical Events Changed Everything  Model UN  Debating: Personal Views and Beliefs 

 

Enrichment 

The Academy Enrichment programme is an extension to learning which gives students opportunities to make accelerated progress and access to new, more challenging concepts or content.

At Key Stage Three, there is a varied range of activities on offer which broaden the learning experience of the wider curriculum.  At Key Stage Four, the enrichment sessions are used as part of our intervention programme to improve knowledge and understanding of subject specific information.   All of our enrichment sessions are very worthwhile and can help students to develop key attributes such as problem solving, creative thinking and using their initiative.
