Enrichment

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.
