In this session focusing on the Department for Education’s Enrichment Framework, we discuss how Arts & Culture has been identified as one of the five key areas in which every school should provide enrichment.

We welcomed two members of the DfE’s Pupil Enrichment team: Elizabeth Kendall, Head of Enrichment, and Jenny Oster Warriner, Enrichment Policy Advisor, who shared the intentions, expectations and opportunities of the DfE Enrichment Framework with us.

We were also joined by specialist art teacher Mandy Barrett from Gomersal Primary School, who shared what arts and cultural enrichment looks like in her setting.
