Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Research shows that the most fulfilled, happy, successful and interesting adults balance a busy, challenging work life with a variety of other activities and interests. Our dedicated Enrichment Hour on Wednesday afternoons is just one of the opportunities you will have to broaden your Sixth Form experience and enhance your CV.

Duke of Edinburgh – Gold Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme aims to develop young people through adventure, challenge, service, learning new skills and teamwork. The scheme has been running at The Knights Templar School for over 30 years and is a cornerstone of the school’s Sixth Form extra-curricular activities.
Clubs and activities
Are you into rugby or robotics, biology or brass bands, drama or dance? You can sign up for these and many more lunchtime and after-school clubs at our Sixth Form. And don’t forget to check out our fantastic Sports Centre with its fitness room, dance studio, sports hall, plus outdoor pitches and courts.
Connecting with our community
Interact, the youth wing of Rotary, oversees many fundraising activities within the school. A group of Sixth Form students meet once a week with Rotary members to plan and organise community events, such as an annual Christmas party for the elderly citizens of Baldock, and Easter egg hunts and parties for children at Weston Way Nursery.
