Enrichment
Enrichment is an important part of daily life at Falconer's Hill Academy.
As a David Ross Education Trust Academy we believe that enrichment can help to raise academic standards, enhance performance and teach life skills that will equip our pupils for an ever-changing world.
Primary enrichment gives students the chance to participate in activities that supplement learning and enable them to broaden their skills and experiences, identify talent and enhance it.
Activities include visual and performing arts, including dance, drama and music. There is also a focus on art, sport, outward bound and developing life skills.
Academies across the Trust are encouraged to work collaboratively to make the most of the opportunities on offer.
