Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
The purpose of enrichment is to provide our students with extended learning prospects which will enable them to further develop their life skills. Enrichment gives the students opportunity to study concepts with great depth, which means all students can pursue their own areas of interests and strengths whilst incorporating the principles of respect, understanding, affection and humour (RUAH), where positive relationships are created within the school community amongst adults and students alike. Below is a non-exhaustive list of what our enrichment entails and how this fits in with our school community and life in the sixth form.
