Staff and Prefects at Heartlands have contributed to this updated Enrichment Grid, which contains activities you can be getting on with to enrich yourself and develop your character while you are at home. The Grid is divided into different categories, so you may wish to focus on activities that interest you most. All these activities are free to get involved in.
We’d love to hear from you: email Mr Seldon and your form tutor any photos or videos of you doing any of these enrichment activities!
