At Compass School we offer a range of enrichment activities and cultural capital initiatives which deliver a positive impact on our pupils. The aim of these programmes is to expose our pupils to a rich array of experiences, fostering personal growth and enhancing their overall education.

 

By participating in enrichment activities our pupils can develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world around them, exposure to diverse cultural activities promotes tolerance, empathy, and a sense of belonging, creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment within our school.

 

In summary, our enrichment programme and cultural capital activities serve the vital purpose of nurturing our pupils personal and academic growth, providing them with valuable life skills, and helping them overcome past challenges to build a brighter future. Ultimately, enrichment and cultural capital activities empower our pupils to overcome obstacles.

This exposure broadens their horizons and helps them discover new interests and skills, helping pupils to realise their potential beyond their past challenges.
