Sports/Physical sessions provided by external coaches and experts

This portion of the Enrichment Learning Programme (ELP) provides parents with an opportunity to choose from a range of physical/sports activities, for their child. Our aim is to ensure every student has the chance to experience a range of physical activities and to develop new sports-related skills.

Sessions are delivered by highly trained external coaches and experts, experienced at delivering age appropriate physical and sports activities for primary aged children. For students in Years 1 to 6, we provide two physical/sports sessions per week, while for Foundation Stage children, one session per week is allocated.

A range of options is provided each term and parents are provided with the ability to choose from these on behalf of their child.

Non-sports Enrichment sessions by our talented teaching staff

Arcadia also offers one age-appropriate non-sports enrichment activity per week for children from Year 1 to Year 6. This is included in the fees and runs alongside the curriculum. There are so many to choose from, and they change every term. Here are some examples:
