Enrichment
At Home Farm Primary School, we believe that every moment of a child’s time in school should be filled with rich experiences and memorable moments. Staff work hard to create a curriculum that prepares our pupils for the next stages in their education. We go over and above to make their learning contain memorable experiences and occasions. We strive to go beyond just academic success and aim to give all children at Home Farm Primary School the opportunity to enrich their learning, deepen their understanding of the world and provide new experiences that will engage and excite them.
