Enrichment

Enrichment is an important part of daily life at Thomas Hinderwell Primary Academy.

As a David Ross Education Trust academy, we believe that enrichment can help to raise academic standards, enhance performance and teach life skills that will equip our pupils for an ever-changing world.

Primary enrichment gives students the chance to participate in activities that supplement learning and enable them to broaden their skills and experiences, identify talent and enhance it.

Activities include visual and performing arts, including dance, drama and music. There is also a focus on art, sport, outward bound and developing life skills.

Choir

We have a well-established Choir at Thomas Hinderwell which rehearses weekly and has performed at a number of events in and around Scarborough, including for residents at Eagle View Care Home and a special Christmas window opening including Anne Hegarty.
