At Chipping Ongar Primary School, we believe in the value of an enriched curriculum that goes beyond the expectations of the National Curriculum. We are committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of new and varied experiences that enhance their time at our school.

Every pupil at Chipping Ongar benefits from a programme of enrichment activities throughout the academic year. These opportunities enable children to explore subjects in greater depth, discover new interests, and develop key personal qualities such as resilience, motivation and confidence. Our enriched curriculum supports a well-rounded and culturally rich education, providing meaningful experiences that extend and enhance classroom learning.

As reflected in our vision statement: “We nurture and celebrate curious learners who are at the heart of everything we do. Confident voices enable our pupils to become resilient, respectful, and responsible individuals,” we recognise that education is about far more than reading, writing and mathematics. We strive to offer experiences that pupils may not encounter in everyday life, helping them to uncover new passions, strengths and talents.
