Events and Enrichment

 

Supporting Service children is about far more than academic progress—it’s about belonging, connection, and creating opportunities that help them thrive.
Through a wide range of events and enrichment activities, I work with schools to celebrate Service families, build confidence, and strengthen community relationships both inside and beyond the classroom.

 

 

What We Offer

 

Curriculum‑Enriching Workshops

Engaging sessions designed to help pupils explore identity, wellbeing, and the unique experiences of Service life. Activities can be tailored to all year groups and might include:

  • Creative arts and storytelling
  • Resilience and transition workshops
  • Service‑themed projects 

These workshops are ideal for supporting Service Pupil Premium (SPP) priorities and whole‑school wellbeing.

 

 

 

Armed Forces Community & Commemorative Events

Helping children understand the significance of remembrance and celebration is an important part of supporting Service families.
I work with schools to:

  • Plan and deliver our Annual Festival of Remembrance at Ripon Cathedral
  • Lead assemblies or workshops
  • Creating inclusive events that honour Service families in a child‑friendly way

 

 

 

Special Projects & Large‑Scale Events

From cathedral services to high‑profile public performances, I work with partners across North Yorkshire and beyond to create transformative experiences for Service children.

Past and ongoing projects include:

  • Collaborative arts projects with military and local organisations
  • Social stories and transition resources to support movements between postings

Schools can participate directly or benefit by sharing these opportunities with their Service families.

 

 

 

Support for Schools

Every school community is unique. I can collaborate with you to explore enrichment opportunities that may:

  • Strengthen pupils’ wellbeing and sense of belonging
  • Align with your Service Pupil Premium priorities
  • Encourage positive relationships between schools, families, and the Armed Forces community

Whether you’re looking for a single activity or would like to explore ongoing opportunities, I’m happy to discuss what might work best for your setting.

 

 

 

Get Involved

If your school would like to take part in events, host a workshop, or explore new enrichment ideas, I’d love to hear from you.
