Excellence and enjoyment
Excellence and enjoyment: a strategy for primary schools was developed in 2003 by the DfES - now Department for Children, Families and Schools (DCFS) - setting out a vision for the future of primary education.
The strategy recognised the central role played by outdoor, creative, subject-based, and other activities in raising achievement at primary school level and how they contribute to a broad and rich curriculum.
The strategy further stated:
‘engaging parents to learn alongside their children can broaden social experiences and increase tolerance of other viewpoints (including different cultures), and family learning enables parents to work at their own skills better to help their children'.
Supplementary schools offer a broad range of cultural, academic, artistic and religious activities. Supplementary schools are also very successful at engaging parents in their children’s education and several of them organise family learning activities.
