How we enrich the curriculum

At Sheridan School, we know that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. That’s why we offer a wide range of enrichment activities designed to help young people build confidence, explore new interests and discover what makes them feel good—mentally, physically and emotionally.

We provide opportunities for our young people to try new things in a way that suits their learning style. If gentle encouragement is what it takes then we take small steps. We believe that developing skills and connecting with their community should feel meaningful and fun.

Activities beyond the classroom

Here are just some of the extra activities our young people can get involved in:

  • Pony trekking and animal care
  • Art and play therapy
  • Music sessions with JDT Music Academy
  • Automotive and construction training with Open Road West Norfolk
  • Social trips and educational visits
  • Spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development experiences
  • Careers fairs

Shining in our community

Connecting with our community is key to helping young people grow in confidence and purpose. That’s why we actively build strong links with local businesses, charities and organisations. We create real-world opportunities that help students gain experience, give back, and feel proud of their contribution.

Here’s how we connect:

  • Regular visits and assemblies with our Community Police Officer
  • Guide dog sessions and animal-assisted learning experiences
  • Inclusive events, including visits and talks from the LGBTQ+ community
  • Annual tea parties with local pensioners

These community links don’t just build practical skills—they help young people feel involved in the world around them.
