Enrichment at Feckenham CE Primary School

‘Live life in all its fullness.’  John 10

At Feckenham we know that spirituality means so many different things to different people and that it is largely immeasurable in its impact. Sometimes we plan for spiritual experiences but often, they are simply moments in our lives that help build an understanding of who we are, why we are here and help us acknowledge the wondrous world that has been gifted to us by God.

Enrichment opportunities – those little extras that bring joy, anticipation, excitement and realisations are both planned, so we don’t neglect the spiritual side of our pupils, and grasped when an unexpected opportunity comes our way.

Enrichment at Feckenham – turning the simple things in life into long lasting memories of the shortest period in our lives – our childhood.
