On Sunday, the Department for Education published their new benchmarks to give every school and college the tools to offer high-quality enrichment across five key categories of enrichment: civic engagement; arts and culture; nature, outdoor and adventure; sport and physical activities; and developing wider life skills. Ofsted will consider a school’s enrichment offer as part of how it assesses personal development, and parents will be able to see their local school’s offer through new ‘school profiles’ – a one stop shop with key information on a school’s offering.

Non-statutory guidance to support schools and colleges to design and deliver a high-quality enrichment offer for all pupils and students.
