Event Summary

The new enrichment framework has established eight benchmarks against which schools and colleges can evaluate their provision. This timely, online conference will explore these benchmarks and practical methods to monitor and collect outcome-related data and student engagement.

Chaired by Ruth Marvel OBE, CEO, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, our expert speakers will cover the new expectations around enrichment, including understanding what “good” enrichment looks like and how it will be inspected.

Gain practical takeaways from schools and providers who have existing high-quality enrichment programmes and partnerships. Be inspired by schools working across various contexts with robust enrichment programmes and build partnerships with external providers to enhance your school’s enrichment offerings.  Find out how to increase participation and ensure that every pupil has the chance to get involved.

You will hear about the DCMS grant funding to improve and enhance enrichment provision in areas with the greatest level of need.

Take away best practice examples for encouraging participation from demographic groups traditionally less likely to participate in enrichment programmes, including SEND students and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Discover how to ensure your students, staff and parents are fully engaged with enrichment.

By attending this full-day, online conference, you will hear approaches that will help you to deliver a high-quality, structured enrichment offer for all pupils and students.
