50 B4 Y7
“The ‘50 before Year 7’ programme inspires pupils from Reception to Year 6 to challenge themselves before they leave the school. The list includes trying new food, learning a poem by heart, entering a competition and gazing at the stars.”
Ofsted June 2023
Based on our knowledge of our children, we have identified 50 essential experiences to nurture their personal development enabling them to become responsible citizens who are appreciative of the world in which they live.
These experiences focus on:
- Arts, culture and heritage
- Appreciation of nature
- Physical/ practical skills
- Contributing to society
The 50 B4 Y7 experiences involve, for example, visits to places of cultural significance, enjoying outside experiences, performances and learning about other cultures. Each year, children will enjoy a number of these experiences until, by the end of Year 6, they have filled their 50 B4 Y7 book with their memories.
A full list of all 50 experiences can be found below. Uploaded is how activities will be delivered this academic year.
