Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
At Rumworth we have a developing Adventure Learning curriculum. As with all innovative approaches to learning, we aim to be values led, evidence informed and impact focussed. Developing our students’ independence and employability skills are two of our key curriculum intent themes.

Duke of Edinburgh Award
We proudly facilitate the Duke of Edinburgh Award program, providing opportunities for our 6th Form students to achieve Bronze, Silver, and the prestigious Gold awards, empowering them to engage in outdoor expeditions, community services and personal development activities that foster resilience, leadership skills and a sense of accomplishment.
Horticulture
Our 6th Form Horticulture vocational pathway opens the door to a plethora of enriching outdoor educational experiences for our students. Students immerse themselves in the art and science of cultivating and growing crops, witnessing firsthand how this transforms our school kitchen and bistro menus. Beyond the soil, students delve into the intricacies of planting and maintaining a variety of plants and flowers, acquiring essential skills to care for expansive outdoor spaces. The students are situated within our horticultural provision, utilising our two outdoor classrooms as their bases. These spaces serve a dual purpose, serving as areas for both collaborative activities and the completion of theoretical components required for their accreditations.

Outdoor Learning
The students thrive during Outdoor Learning and the positive influence of this time spent outdoors extends beyond these sessions. Access to adventure outdoor learning has shown positive benefits to our students’ behaviour, their non-cognitive outcomes such as self-esteem and subsequently their academic progress.
