HONYWOOD ENRICHMENT

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMME AUTUMN 2022

Through our Enrichment programme we continue to offer our learners experiences outside of the classroom environment whether in school or on visits. So far this term we been able to offer the following:

C7

We started the term with our newest learners visiting Mersea outdoors for the day. Although the weather wasn’t the best, Cohort 7 had a brilliant day of activities at Mersea, working with their new classmates and staff, developing confidence and problem solving skills.

They visited Coggeshall as part of their History curriculum, exploring the rich history on our doorstep.

C8

A group of C8 learners took part in the Faraday Challenge, narrowly missing out on a win!

C9

C9 also visited Coggeshall but with their Business Studies lens. Looking at local businesses, infrastructure and demographics. N-Act Theatre company performed to our C9, recreating a real life incident that occurred involving gangs and knife crime.

C10

Also attended the N-Act theatre performance and the performers commented on how good the learners questioning was and how mature they were. Some of our Health and Social Care learners attended an NHS fayre to look at careers in the industry.

C11

Visited a careers fayre at the Chelmsford racecourse, meeting post 16 providers, post 18 providers and employers. Geography learners attended the residential field studies weekend to Dorset or the day trip to Walton to gather data. the whole of the cohort attended the MADE training workshop to develop their revision skills.

Finally, many of our learners were able to take part in a unique experience, a professional film crew in school. And lets not forget 300 learners were able to watch the opening England game of the world cup, helping to fund raise for the C11 prom.

Next term, we have a dance trip to the Royal Opera House; C11 visit to see Macbeth at the Mercury; C10 Maths day at the Essex University and a C10 Computer Science trip! And this is all before our Enrichment week in March, details of this to follow in the new term.

The ability for learners to learn and discover interests that lie outside of the traditional classroom setting. At Honywood we provide a broad range of opportunities to learn and develop in this way. These opportunities foster professional skills such as resilience, active listening, confidence, self-esteem and teamwork.
