An integral part of the curriculum at Hollywell is our GROWTH Enrichment project. This is a bespoke personal development programme which is entwined throughout our curriculum to specifically develop our learning values of: Growing, Resilience, Open-Mindedness, Wonder, Teamwork, Happiness.

GROWTH Enrichment starts in EYFS and develops through 4 strands of personal development learning that continue through the curriculum into Y6. These strands are:

1. The Great Outdoors

2. A Sporting Difference

3. Healthy Body and Mind

4. Community Action

It aims to challenge our children by taking risks, learning new skills and to step outside their comfort zones in a fun, practical environment. Building resilience is crucial during GROWTH and in ensuring that our children are lifelong learners and have positive mental health and well-being. Children will be helped to develop their growth mindset through learning new skills and believing that with hard work and determination, anything can be achieved.

GROWTH enrichment is a golden thread which runs through our school. We have developed this bespoke programme over a number of years and are very proud of what it brings to the children at Hollywell. During a child's time at Hollywell, they will experience a range of activities as part of GROWTH. These will include:

• Forest Schools
• Ice skating
• Learning to play instruments
• Appreciate how music can improve wellbeing
• Healthy Cooking
• Orienteering
• Team building
• Growing, harvesting and cooking their own food
• Coding
• Sewing
• Range of sports, such as fencing, archery, bocha, boxercise, curling
• Disability Sports, such as wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair archery
• Chance to make products and run a community fundraising event
• Emergency first aid

It is extremely important to us that our GROWTH curriculum inspires and unlocks potential in all children and allows them to flourish.
