At Richmond, we believe that a great education is about far more than what happens in the classroom. enRICHMOND is our commitment to giving every child a rich, varied and memorable range of experiences that broaden horizons, raise aspirations and help pupils discover new interests, talents and possibilities.

Our enrichment offer brings together the opportunities available across our Trust with a carefully planned programme of Richmond-specific experiences, reflecting our curriculum, locality and community. Together, these provide our pupils with the widest possible range of cultural, creative, sporting, outdoor, community and leadership opportunities.

We are particularly passionate about ensuring that a child’s background, starting point, individual need or locality does not determine the opportunities available to them. Through visits, workshops, clubs, competitions, performances, outdoor experiences, community projects, leadership opportunities and Trust-wide events, we open doors to new experiences, places and possibilities beyond children’s everyday lives.

Access and inclusion are at the heart of enRICHMOND. Every child is encouraged and supported to participate, contribute and succeed, ensuring enrichment is not an optional extra for a few, but an important part of the Richmond experience for all.

Through these experiences, our pupils build confidence, resilience, independence and a sense of belonging, while developing the communication, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills they need for the future.

Through enrichment, experiences and opportunities, we help every child to achieve, thrive and leave Richmond with broader horizons, greater confidence and the skills and experiences to embrace their future.
