Hanford Prep's Enrichment Programme
Sitting proudly alongside our Extra Curricular activities offer, the Hanford Hundred is a new skills-based enrichment programme.
The programme is woven throughout the whole curriculum at Hanford and further developed through bespoke enrichment activities which take place during the week, after 4.30pm and on Saturday mornings.
The three key principles which lie at the heart of the programme are designed to:
- Extend knowledge and skills beyond the classroom in a supportive environment.
- Explore and encourage new interests.
- Engage imagination and creativity.
The Hanford Hundred
Girls at Hanford Prep track their skills in their scrapbook, which they keep throughout their time at Hanford, working with their personal tutor to achieve goals agreed by staff and pupils alike.
We call this set of goals the “Hanford Hundred” and a selection of goals can be seen below.
The Hanford Hundred list encompasses physical, emotional, academic and life skills. The list is deliberately ambitious, and girls are supported in understanding the progress they are making and also, crucially, supported in understanding that they may not accomplish all these goals in their time at Hanford Prep, but that the list represents targets that they can take with them in their steps beyond our school.
Enrichment Activities
The table below gives an idea of some of the activities that will be on offer.
Through these activities, your daughters will be able to develop their Hanford Hundred. For example, in Debating, girls will learn to disagree well, speak in front of small and larger audiences, be gracious in both victory and defeat. In Entrepreneur club, girls will learn about finance and budgeting, supply and demand.
They will learn how to value and advertise a service or product. They will learn the value not only of objects, but of time and expertise. Patience will also be needed and the ability to strategize and predict pitfalls.
