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.
KEEP THESE BOOKLETS SAFE - THERE ARE NO SPARE COPIES!
