Enriching the Curriculum
Curriculum Enrichment
At Hutton Rudby Primary School we believe that it is important for children to be able to apply their classroom learning to new situations. To encourage them to do this, and become more confident in doing so, we are very keen to give our children access to a wide range of trips, activities and enriching opportunities within the curriculum.
We feel that our broad, enriched curriculum coupled with our Cultural Capital Passport Challenges provide our children with many experiences which broad their horizons culturally, promotes a healthy body and mind, allows individual excellence and life long learner always focussing on determination.
