Enrichment overview
Five Elms Primary School is committed to providing an exceptional enrichment offer that goes far beyond the expected curriculum, creating a “private school experience within a maintained school” where every child is valued, inspired and given the opportunity to flourish. We believe education is about far more than academic success alone; it is about broadening horizons, nurturing character, building resilience and developing confident, compassionate and culturally aware young people who are prepared for the future.
Our enrichment provision is exciting, engaging, inclusive and global in outlook.
At Five Elms, children are immersed in memorable learning experiences that go far beyond passive approaches to learning. We believe children should live the curriculum in every classroom, every day, becoming active participants in their learning.

Central to our vision is equity and inclusion. We are committed to removing barriers to participation so that every child, regardless of background or circumstance, can access the full enrichment offer. Cost should never prevent children from taking part, and we work hard to ensure opportunities are accessible to all families. We recognise that true inclusion means ensuring every child feels represented, celebrated and able to succeed.
Five Elms places strong emphasis on personal development, attendance, wellbeing, inclusion and preparation for life in modern Britain.
