Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
The Enrichment programme takes place on a Wednesday afternoon throughout the year. The purpose of these are to help you to develop soft skills in order to support you in the future. All students will opt for three different enrichment options - one per term - over the course of the academic year. Each student will be asked to choose an enrichment activity for each term. Please note that we do encourage students - where possible - to opt for a different activity in each term in order to develop as many soft skills as possible.

Community
Students will develop awareness of the community around them, visiting care homes, learning how to look after the local environment and the impact on this and tending to the Sixth form allotment
Arts Award
Students will develop their artistic and leadership skills, encouraging them to explore and participate in the arts.
Online Courses
Students will participate in MOOCs through the mysupercurricular app.
