Enrichment Friday

Our curriculum is underpinned by activities which excite and engage children throughout the week.

However, at Wychbold we widen our curriculum offer to explore and enhance learning outside the classroom.  This happens by creating small groups of children who are then taught by specialist leaders, and whilst the school buzzes with excitement on most days, you always know when it is Enrichment Friday!

For 2021-2022, the activities are:

Year 1 and Year 2

Archery and Fencing 

This is led by our Sports coaches KITS Academy
