we other a range of sports from football to basketball, boxing to gym. These are all great fun and very popular, but we also see our sporting enrichment as a chance to bridge skill gaps and make connections across the Sixth Form. We have a strong tradition of football and Sixth Form teams are entered into local and national competitions.

Each Wednesday lunchtime, our KS5 students have access to a 30-minute lecture delivered by a member of staff or an external speaker. These cover a broad range of topics, ranging from ‘The garden as a metaphor in English Literature’ all the way to ‘Sampling in music’. Students learn how to effectively take notes. This series broadens horizons and prepares students for the next steps at university.

The third and final branch of our enrichment is focuses on giving back. With a number of our pupils looking for a career in medicine or the medical sphere, we have used our geographical advantage to form an exciting partnership with the world-famous Moorfields Eye Hospital. Enrichment is a chance to instil values such as altruism and it gives me great pride that many of our 6th formers now volunteer for 3 hours per week, supporting the vulnerable and our local community. On top of that, many pupils give back to our School by volunteering.
