Bosham Primary School gives pupils skills for life with new enrichment curriculum

Bosham Primary School is giving pupils the chance to learn everything from gardening to public speaking through its new RISE enrichment curriculum.

The year-round programme will take learning beyond the classroom and equip children with practical life skills they need both in school and beyond.

Activities will range from beach bush craft to song writing and video creation. Already, pupils have begun taking part in the programme with puzzles and problem solving, touch typing, knot tying, Origami and learning card games and skipping.

The RISE curriculum has been designed around four key character strengths: resilience, independence, self-expression and emotional intelligence.

The programme has been made possible with a donation of almost £4,500 from local housebuilder Barratt David Wilson Homes as part of its commitment to supporting local schools and investing in communities.

Kate Robst, School Business Manager at Bosham Primary School, said: "RISE is about giving every child opportunities that extend beyond the national curriculum. We want our pupils to leave with confidence, resilience and practical skills that will stay with them for life. The support from Barratt David Wilson Homes has helped turn this vision into reality, and we're already seeing pupils reap the benefits.”

Megan Hamlyn, Marketing Manager at Barratt David Wilson Homes, said: "We are proud to support schools in the communities, creating opportunities that shape futures for young people. The RISE enrichment curriculum is a fantastic initiative that encourages children to try new things, build confidence and develop skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. We're delighted to have helped make this programme possible."
