The Embark Award is part of the trust’s commitment to the wider offer for our children. It comprises of 100 activities for children to complete before they are 11 and it is based around the trust’s 4 core beliefs: Family, Integrity, Teamwork and Success.

Children will work towards their Bronze Award by completing 40 activities, Silver Award (60 Activities) and finally their Gold Award (90 Activities).

The activities encourage family learning and shared experiences at home as well as numerous activities that will be provided within school. As your child completes the activities on the attached lists at home, please record this through photos or any other evidence and, when we review the challenges achieved periodically with the children, they will be able to mark them off in their own individual record. We have a dedicated email address embarkaward@riddings-jun.derbyshire.sch.uk and are happy to print photos off in school.

It would be great if you could post any activities you complete on your child’s class Twitter page so that we can see them, show you our support and share them within the Embark family of schools.

We ask you to keep the attached lists of activities safe and try to tick off as many as you can with your child or children during their time at Riddings Junior School. 

If you require any more information about the Embark Award, please contact us or, maybe, ask your children if they can give you any more details from our assembly.
