We believe that education extends far beyond the classroom. A vibrant enrichment programme helps create a richer school experience, providing students with opportunities to develop new interests, build confidence, discover talents and contribute to the wider community.

​

Taking part in enrichment activities supports students' personal development and wellbeing, while also helping them to build valuable skills for the future. Research shows that:

• Students who participate in enrichment activities are more likely to progress to higher education and employment.

• Access to enrichment opportunities is linked to greater enjoyment of school and improved attendance.

​

When does enrichment take place?

Our enrichment programme runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 3:10pm to 4:10pm.

• Year 7 and Year 8 students are expected to choose at least one enrichment activity each term, with the option to take part in two.

• Year 9 students are strongly encouraged to participate, as enrichment contributes towards the completion of their ACE Tracker.
   

In addition to our weekly programme, students can take part in a wide range of other enrichment opportunities throughout the year, including educational visits, workshops, careers events and evening activities. Students can track their participation and achievements through Unifrog.

​
