2025 Curriculum Enrichment Day

Mid-July can mean only one thing at Charters School; our much-anticipated Curriculum Enrichment Day, a highlight of the academic year that brings subjects to life in exciting and meaningful ways for students in Years 7-10.

The day saw Year 7 students tackling Maths in a dynamic and interactive format. The morning was spent creating and solving nonograms  - a fantastic way to enrich the maths curriculum through a fun, engaging, and logic-based puzzle activity.

Over in Year 8, the focus was on Science and the environment. With generous support from Hillier Garden Centre in Sunningdale who donated plants, and The Sunninghill Trust who generously sponsored the day, students examined how biodiversity can be improved around the school site. The students worked throughout the day to bring their ideas to life, and Will Dalton from The Sunninghill Trust kindly judged their creations.

Year 9 students transformed into budding journalists, editors and art directors for the day, diving into the world of media and publishing. They carefully curated news content tailored to their newspaper’s demographic, weighing up editorial decisions based on political leanings and publication style. The day culminated in the judging of their front pages, which were once again of an incredibly high calibre.

Meanwhile, Year 10 students took a thoughtful and reflective turn, engaging in a series of enriching workshops for Religious Studies. This year’s programme welcomed speakers from a diverse range of faith backgrounds. Diba, who recently completed her A Levels, returned to Charters to offer a unique personal perspective on the Bahá’í faith, sharing her lived experiences and beliefs. An external speaker provided invaluable insight into Judaism, highlighting how stereotypes continue to fuel antisemitism globally, while a follower of the Hindu faith, brought in an array of artefacts that offered students a tactile and visual way to understand traditions, symbolism, and the daily practices of Hinduism.

Additional sessions explored Humanism, Christianity, Islam, and Sikhism, and students engaged in meaningful discussions around conflict and suffering from various faith perspectives.

We would like to thank all those who supported the day, and our incredible staff who worked tirelessly to bring their subjects to life.
