Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
There is more to life than just academia - it is important to us that students engage in a range of meaningful life experiences and have a chance to give back to the community. The following are some of the ways in which we do this.

Age UK
Building connections across the generations, we will help students to work with Age Concern to bring some much needed support to our older citizens.
University Outreach Programmes
We work closely with the University of Kent, the University of the Creative Arts and Canterbury Christ Church University to provide activities that complement our core curriculum. The activities in this strand are designed to support students' subject knowledge as well as developing skills to help students to succeed in their A Levels.
Mental Health Education
The Peer Education Project is a school-based programme that aims to give young people the skills and knowledge they need to safeguard their mental health and that of their peers. By training older pupils to deliver mental health lessons to younger students, the project aims to bypass the barriers many young people put up when being taught such nuanced, personal topics by adults, whom they feel are detached from their personal experiences.
