The Whitby High School

At The Whitby High School, we believe that enrichment is a fantastic way to enhance students’ enjoyment of school life and foster an inclusive, community spirit within our school. Our Enrichment Programme is also designed to engage students with the wider community and teach them essential life skills. Now more than ever, a thriving enrichment programme is crucial for promoting employability, academic achievement, and equipping young people with the skills they need to make positive life choices. Enrichment encompasses a wide range of activities that students can choose to pursue beyond their academic studies and usual school requirements. By developing students’ social, moral, spiritual, and cultural strengths, we enable them to succeed in education, work, and society. At The Whitby High School, we have developed a diverse enrichment programme that both encourages and recognises the many activities our students participate in. Our three core areas are work-related learning, community participation, and personal development. Examples within these areas include voluntary work, sports, arts and music, charity initiatives, community partnerships, and work experience. These are embedded in our PACE PLEDGES. Students at The Whitby High School are encouraged to actively participate in enrichment activities as they work towards the PACE Pledges. We give students the freedom to explore their own interests in extra-curricular activities. Additionally, we continuously build partnerships with community providers to expand our enrichment programme.
