Why is cultural capital important? Our cultural capital helps form our understanding, knowledge, experiences, thoughts and opinions. It helps us achieve goals, become successful, try different things and share our experiences with others. This booklet has been designed to inform our parents and carers how they can help support their child within each area at Admiral Lord Nelson School. It outlines websites to look at, visits and cultural experiences your child may enjoy out of school hours to support them in their education, along with recommended books to read and the things we do in school too.
