Heyford Park School Enrichment offers your child valuable opportunities to take part in a wide range of activities. Enrichment promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, improves the ability to concentrate, and make learning more meaningful, valuable, and rewarding. Enrichment activities are fun, which helps students to become more engaged in their learning and retain more information. 

These activites operate on both sites from Monday to Thursday.  There are both free and paid activities on offer, so please encourage your children to attend as much as possible.
