Enrichment that fits how your week already runs

One ready-made resource across the moments primary schools use for enrichment.

Clubs & golden time

A pick-up-and-go activity for after-school clubs and golden-time slots — no prep, no specialist needed.

Enrichment weeks

Structured, game-based life-skills sessions that give an enrichment week real substance and progression.

Form & tutor time

Ten minutes of purposeful life-skills learning to open or close the day.

Wet play & transitions

A calm, worthwhile alternative to a screen when the weather or the timetable changes the plan.

Built for the DfE Enrichment Benchmarks

The Department for Education’s Enrichment Framework sets out five categories of enrichment. The Future Skills Passport delivers the fifth — ready-made.

Civic engagement
Arts & culture
Nature, outdoors & adventure
Sport & physical activity
Wider life & future skills

The Passport covers wider life & future skills — money, digital literacy, first aid, wellbeing and enterprise — and helps you evidence the Accessible & Engaging and Outcomes-Focused benchmarks, because it reaches every pupil and tracks their progress.

Maps to personal development & cultural capital

Beyond the Enrichment Framework, the Passport strengthens your Ofsted personal development story and builds cultural capital — giving every child, not just the ones who already do clubs at home, structured access to the skills that help them belong, thrive and prepare for life.

Enrichment questions, answered

What are the DfE Enrichment Benchmarks?

The Department for Education’s Enrichment Framework sets out 8 benchmarks for a high-quality enrichment offer and 5 categories of enrichment schools should give pupils access to: civic engagement; arts and culture; nature, outdoors and adventure; sport and physical activity; and wider life and future skills.

How does the Future Skills Passport map to the framework?

It delivers the fifth category — wider life and future skills (money, digital literacy, first aid, enterprise and more) — ready-made, and helps you evidence several benchmarks, especially Accessible & Engaging (it reaches disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils) and Outcomes-Focused (progress is tracked as pupils complete skills).

Can we run it in clubs, golden time or enrichment weeks?

Yes. Each lesson is a self-guided 10-minute activity, so it drops into after-school clubs, golden time, form time, enrichment weeks or wet-play with no planning.

Does it support our Ofsted personal development judgement?

It contributes to personal development and cultural capital by giving every child structured access to real-world life skills, with a progress trail you can point to as evidence.

What is Every Child Can?

It’s a government enrichment programme funded through the Dormant Assets Scheme (£132.5m) to widen access to enriching activities across the same five categories, in school and in the holidays. The Passport is a ready-made way to strengthen your wider life and future skills offer.

What ages is it for?

It is built for KS2 — ages 7 to 11.

Is it free to try?

Yes — start a free trial and run real enrichment sessions before you decide.
