Enrichment

At River Tees Hospital School, we may be smaller than many mainstream schools, but our aspirations for our pupils are anything but limited. We offer a diverse range of engaging enrichment activities designed to inspire and motivate pupils, helping them uncover and develop their hidden talents.

Our vision is to provide a wealth of opportunities tailored to our unique setting, fostering skills, knowledge, creativity, and physical health. These enrichment programmes are integral in supporting every pupil to achieve their personal goals.

We view enrichment as a powerful means to strengthen relationships within our school community, offering pupils a productive and social outlet for activities outside of regular school hours. Participating in our enrichment activities allows students to:

• Build strong, positive relationships with peers and staff in a relaxed and supportive environment

• Develop social skills such as teamwork, communication, cooperation and respect for others

• Discover and nurture individual interests, talents and passions beyond the classroom

• Increase confidence, self-esteem and a sense of personal achievement

• Experience a sense of belonging and connection to the wider school community

• Improve emotional wellbeing through purposeful, enjoyable and engaging activities

• Develop resilience, independence and problem-solving skills

• Engage in positive use of time outside regular school hours

• Enhance motivation and engagement with school life overall

• Learn to take responsibility, follow routines and commit to activities

• Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
