Activity Passport

At Charlton Manor Primary School we believe that every child should be inspired and enjoy their learning, achieving their full potential through a curriculum which is knowledge rich and will give them the skills and experiences to be ‘future ready’. 

To support and enhance this further, we are introducing ‘Charlton Manor’s Activity Passport’. A copy is provided for every child to keep throughout their school journey. The passport includes a list of exciting challenges for every year group. Some of the activities will be completed in school but there are some that can be easily enjoyed by all the family at home or during the holidays. 

The idea was first introduced by the DfE (Department for Education) to not only encourage the academic progress of children but ensure that every child has exposure to experiences that provide enjoyment and life-long fulfilment. This includes activities such as: reading for pleasure, being passionate about music, drama and sport, having community connections to their local area, developing an appreciation of nature and an insight into the world of work. 

Our Activity Passport ideas are similar to the list created by the National Trust, ‘50 Things to do before you’re 11 ¾’, which we encourage all parents to read. 

This is not compulsory but something we hope will give you some fun ideas to complete throughout the year. If you do complete any activities from the Activity Passport, we would love to see it, so bring in or send a photo to share with your child’s class teacher and, if you have given us permission, we will also be sharing them on the website and social media. Again, there is no pressure to do so. 

Please do keep ticking off the activities throughout the year and don’t worry if your child completes something more than once – that’s just double the fun!
