Enrichment Activities

A main aim of Samuel Rhodes School is to provide links to the wider world, encouraging our students to be aware of the exciting range of life experiences available to them. By providing opportunities for students to engage in activities outside the classroom, we hope to encourage them to be able to take advantage of, culturally enriching experiences through their lives. Below is an array of opportunities that will be available to your child. In order to further enhance, engage and motivate the children in learning and broaden their experiences, we strive to expand our offer to include a diverse range of enrichment opportunities. We are committed to the Islington 11by11 pledge in providing and promoting opportunities for children and young people to develop key skills supporting every child to be school ready, life ready and work ready.
