We want our pupils to lead a fulfilling life. We want them to enjoy learning, to read for pleasure, to be excited by music and drama, to be curious about the world and people around them.
We believe that it is important that children have the chance to try things out, to get a taste of the world around them, to see and do things that they wouldn’t normally do, or go to places they wouldn’t normally go and to meet people they wouldn’t normally meet.
These things are important because a world-class education is about much more than qualifications: it’s also about your character and wellbeing. We develop our character from taking on challenges and pursuing our interests, by doing things that are worth doing even when they are difficult and which may not give us an immediate reward.
Therefore, we have introduced our Federation Fifty Challenge to give children a variety of experiences during their time in The Upper Nidderdale Primary Federation. Children will be given opportunities to complete these challenges throughout their time at primary school.
Opportunities to take part in these experiences are planned across each year to ensure coverage. This includes during Outdoor Education and through residentials, as well as through discrete experiences.
