At Watling Meadows, we believe that every child deserves an education filled with memorable experiences, personal growth and opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. Our enrichment programme is designed to broaden horizons, build confidence and nurture new talents — ensuring our pupils leave Year Six with a rich bank of experiences that will stay with them for life.

The Watling Meadows Pledge

By the time our children leave Year Six, they will have experienced a wide range of exciting, purposeful and character‑building opportunities. Our Pledge guarantees that every pupil will take part in activities such as:

• Meeting an author
• Working with an artist
• Collaborating on an art project
• Supporting local charities and organisations
• Going to the theatre
• Learning Makaton
• Planting their own tree
• Speaking publicly at an event or concert
• Taking part in a local short residential visit
• Making meaningful links with another country
• Learning a new language
• Visiting the Houses of Parliament
• Den building
• Creating a sculpture
• Being a leader and positive role model
• Eating in a restaurant
• Feeling the sand between their toes at the seaside
• Cooking with a real chef
• Finding out where our food comes from
• Being part of a studio audience
• Experiencing a longer residential visit

These experiences are woven through our curriculum so that every child can grow, discover and thrive in new and exciting ways.

Lunchtime and After‑School Enrichment

To complement our curriculum — and our wraparound care — Watling Meadows will offer a vibrant programme of lunchtime and after‑school clubs. These will include opportunities in:

• Sports and active play
• Performing arts and music
• Arts, crafts and creative projects
• STEM and problem‑solving activities

We are committed to ensuring that our enrichment offer is affordable and accessible to all families, so that every child can explore their passions and discover new ones.

Through our enriched curriculum and the Watling Meadows Pledge, we ensure that:

• Every child experiences personal challenge and success
• Learning is joyful, memorable and full of variety
• Pupils build resilience, curiosity and independence
• Opportunities are inclusive and equitable
• No child misses out, regardless of background or circumstance

At Watling Meadows, enrichment is at the heart of who we are — because childhood should be full of wonder, discovery and opportunity.
