Enrichment
Inspiring Learning Beyond the Curriculum!
Enrichment Activities and Educational Visits
At Redbrook Hayes, we firmly believe that children learn best from first hand experiences. These are the experiences that stay with us for a lifetime and bring to life learning for all our children. To support this, we have a Redbrook Hayes Passport for Learning.
The Passport for Learning provides opportunity for children to take part in a whole host of extra curricular activities that are offered to them during their time at Redbrook. These activities are assigned to achievement badges on ePraise, our reward point system, and children have the opportunity to collect all of these throughout their time with us. Please click here to find more information about the Passport for Learning and what children need to do to collect their badges.
Enhancement Days
Launched in 2016, these days are a firm favourite with pupils and staff alike. Each term we use one day to enrich the learning experiences for all, using staff expertise and outside professionals a wealth of opportunities are offered for all, which cover the arts, sports, outdoor adventures, social skills and additional curriculum opportunities. Learners are invited, with their parents, to select a number of workshops to complete throughout the day which really enhance their learning experience. These days also provide a great opportunity for learners to work with peers of different age groups and with different teachers.
Curriculum Visits and Workshops
As part of our curriculum offer, learners are invited to take part in a variety of on-site and off-site visits and experiences, linked to their learning adventures. These experiences bring learning to life for our pupils and enable a deeper understanding of our history, culture and science throughout their whole-school learning journey.

Residential Visits
Our Y6 pupils attend the Wilderness Experience Residential in Stone. This 2 night, 3 day residential is packed with fun and adventurous activities, giving them the opportunity to develop their teamwork and resilience. Learners set up camp themselves, working as a team to put up their tents, support each other in adventurous activities and really get stuck in.
New to 2025, we are excited to be taking our Year 4 children to Standon Bowers. This is a 2 night, 3 day residential where children will stay in dorms and take part in a whole host of fun, teambuilding activities.
