At Steephill, we pride ourselves on bringing our curriculum to life through a variety of means, such as enhancement weeks, outdoor learning and rich hands‑on experiences that deepen children’s understanding of the world around them. We aim to create meaningful opportunities for pupils to explore, question and apply their learning in real‑life contexts, helping them to develop curiosity, confidence and a genuine love of learning.

Enhancement Week 

At the beginning of each term, our enhancement week immerses the children into the curriculum and global focus. This academic year, we selected the theme ‘oceans’ and prioritised UN Goals 3: Climate Action and Goal 14: Life Below Water.

To begin the spring term, we were visited by a member of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation who delivered a variety of sessions, from habitats around the world to saving farmers' livestock with ‘lions with light.’

Immersive learning experiences 

Alongside our enhancement weeks, we hold various themed days to immerse our children into their learning and bring it to life. These memorable experiences allow our children to deepen their knowledge of key content areas and engage with our local community.
