Enrichment at Ashmead Primary School

Our Vision

As well as after-school care, we are proud to offer a broad and inclusive enrichment programme that gives every child the opportunity to develop new skills and discover new interests.

Enrichment at Ashmead goes far beyond clubs. Throughout their journey with us, children take part in performances, educational visits, residential experiences, sporting events, leadership opportunities, environmental projects and community activities. This reflects our school vision that, through excellent teaching and care, every child knows they are both loveable and capable. We want every child to leave us with happy memories, the confidence to embrace new experiences, and the belief that they can achieve great things.

What We Offer

Enrichment happens throughout the school day - not just after school. Children participate in breakfast/before school clubs (from 8am), daytime activities, leadership opportunities and our extensive after-school programme.

Our enrichment programme covers five key areas:

Sport and Physical Activities Football, gymnastics, basketball, hockey, multisports, mindful movers, and exciting annual events like the Alex Yee triathlon (Y4)

Arts and Culture Music clubs (drumming, guitar, choir, parent-led orchestra), musical theatre, storytime, and performances including the Shakespeare Schools Festival (Y5)

Leadership and Community School Council, Eco Committee, Y6 buddy system supporting Reception children, and representing Ashmead in the wider community

Nature, Outdoors and Adventure Eco Committee environmental projects, residential trips, and outdoor learning experiences

Life Skills and Wellbeing Chess and board games, film club, mindful movers, and targeted learning support

Leadership Opportunities

Children also have the chance to take on leadership roles:

• School Council - Year 2 - Year 6, meeting fortnightly to share pupil voice and shape school decisions
• Eco Committee - Year 4 - Year 6, leading environmental and sustainability projects
• Y6 Buddies - Supporting Reception children to settle into school life
• Sports representatives - opportunities to represent Ashmead throughout the year

Enrichment for Every Child

We believe every child should access enrichment, regardless of their circumstances. We offer:

• Free places in clubs for families entitled to Targeted or Expanded Free School Meals (formerly Pupil Premium). 
• Free targeted learning support clubs (by invitation)
• A range of clubs at different times to suit family schedules

If cost or other barriers are preventing your child from accessing enrichment, please contact the school office - we're here to help.

We celebrate children's enrichment achievements in assemblies, through celebration certificates, and as part of their personal development journey at Ashmead.
