Enrichment

Our strong academic curriculum is complimented by a wide ranging, exciting extra-curricular programme; our aim is that every student gets involved in at least one activity outside of the classroom. Life at South Chingford Foundation School is underpinned by our vision Ambition for All . We believe that new challenges and experiences help us all to grow our aspirations, independence and confidence, discover new interests and get to know one another better. begin their South Chingford journey, students are encouraged to immerse themselves within life at the school and the opportunities available to all. Our enrichment programme is designed to reflect a wide range of interests, hobbies and subjects and, like our academic curriculum, if there is something new students want to try, we will endeavour to provide that experience for them.
