Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
We strive to not only challenge our students academically, but also provide them with opportunities to add new skills, experiences and achievements to their CVs. We support our students to become wellrounded, mature and conscientious young people with an active interest in their community.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
We offer the DofE programme at three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. This nationally recognised award is comprised of four sections which involve: helping your community/the environment, becoming fitter and healthier, developing new skills and completing an expedition. Undertaking your award will see you enjoy a life-changing experience, enhance your CV and develop your skills whilst taking on personal challenges, having fun and meeting new friends.
Extended Project Qualification
Choose to set yourself apart from the rest by completing an EPQ - an independent research project equivalent to half an A Level. This qualification is recognised by many universities as an important way for applicants to develop research and academic skills relevant for higher education study. Your project can be about anything you are passionate about - whether that’s your exploration into the commercial viability of zero emission fuel cells or writing your own novel.
Football Education
The Football Education Programme is designed to deliver exceptional experiences to talented aspiring footballers. The programme involves regular training sessions and weekly fixtures with the Association of Colleges (AoC) League. All fixtures are recorded on Veo cameras so that players can review footage and analyse their performance for continual improvement.
