Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
In addition to our academic and vocational courses, we also offer a variety of enrichment opportunities. These are provided to ensure that you leave our Sixth Form with more than just an excellent grade profile. The activities we offer allow you to gain skills in new areas, develop existing skills, make new friends and take part in a range of leisure activities either on your own or with a group of friends. Currently, those that are chosen as part of the enrolment process include Healthy Cooking on a Budget, First Aid, Sign Language, Conversational French, Ceramics and Textiles, and Sports Leadership and Sport for Leisure. Sixth Form students also have the opportunity to attend and help run clubs at lunch and after school. All Year 12 students will also take part in volunteering. There are also a number of opportunities that arise during the year that will be promoted to students. The more they can take part in, the more they will gain from their time in sixth form and the stronger their future applications will be.
