Enrichment Activities

Show all activities

Our enrichment offer provides pupils with the opportunity to take part in extra-curricular activities in their own time. These activities aim to develop pupils’ interests and skills whilst providing pupils with new experiences. We also recognise the importance of ensuring all pupils have access to a wide range of resources to enrich their learning experience. This could include access to transport, a range of classroom based resources and reading for pleasure books.

Trips and Visits

We provide pupils with a wide range of rich experiences involving pupils visiting cultural and educational venues which broaden pupils’ understanding of the world around them. We recognise that for some of our pupils, visiting a new venue can be challenging due to their mental or medical health therefore we carry out thorough risk assessment procedures to ensure that as many pupils as possible can access these experiences.

Careers Programme

We provide high quality careers education, advice and guidance for pupils. We aim to ensure that every student is equipped with the skills, abilities and qualifications to pursue a fulfilling career. Our careers programme explores options and raises aspirations in partnership with a wide range of post 16 and 18 providers and careers educators.

British Values

We build a culture of empathy and respect for all our learners and staff. We teach British Values through our PSHE curriculum and then embed these values through a wide range of experiences. This includes extra-curricular activities, assemblies, cultural calendar of activities, curriculum resources, library books and community events. The British Values are part of our school culture.
