Enrichment
At Silver Springs we want everyone to shine! We believe that every child has something to offer and that they should be encouraged to share that gift or talent and by doing so encourage others to do the same.
From the beginning in the Foundation Stage, right through until children leave for high school we will provide children with unforgettable experiences that open doors to the wider world, leaving them itching to know more and eager to learn, inspiring them to achieve GREAT things and become GREAT citizens; building the best possible future for the community in which they live. Our enrichment programme will be underpinned by our GREAT values:
Genuine: are mutually trusting, open, honest and reflective.
Respect: doing good to all.
Excellent: striving for excellence and intolerant of mediocrity.
Achievement:understand that academic excellence is the goal and high aspirations key to each child achieving their academic potential.
Together: believing that we can make the biggest difference when we work as a strong, supportive and inclusive team.
