Cultural Capital
At Blowers Green Primary, we believe that every child deserves a rich and fulfilling educational experience that extends beyond the classroom. Our 11 by 11 Pledge is a commitment to providing all our pupils with eleven inspiring cultural experiences by the age of eleven, ensuring they develop the cultural capital needed to thrive in life. Cultural capital refers to the essential knowledge, skills, and experiences that help young learners navigate the world with confidence. By exposing children to museums, theatre performances, musical opportunities, historical sites, and artistic expression, we broaden their horizons, ignite their curiosity, and inspire lifelong learning.
Developing cultural capital is crucial in shaping well-rounded individuals who can engage with society, appreciate diversity, and aspire to achieve their full potential. These meaningful experiences enrich children’s understanding of the world, help them build social connections, and develop key skills such as creativity, communication, and resilience. Through our 11 by 11 Pledge, we ensure that all pupils, regardless of background, have access to these opportunities, empowering them with the knowledge and experiences that will serve as a foundation for their future success.
