educational provision that goes beyond the basic curriculum entitlement

 

"activities that supplement standard curriculum fare" (Taber, 2015, p.12)

"The assumption here is that students follow the standard curriculum with their peers, but that this is enriched by additional educational experiences designed to supplement the standard fare… Enrichment of this kind may mean additional experiences outside lesson times, and possibly geographically outside school or temporally outside school terms" (Taber & Riga, 2016)
