At Holyhead we believe that learning should extend beyond the classroom and we feel it is important that our students have opportunities that will enable them to have a well-rounded experience of Sixth Form life and to develop their character through practical experience. Employers and universities are not only interested in high grades, they want people who are willing to embrace new challenges, work well with others and have leadership skills. All Year 12 students choose at least one enrichment activity alongside their subjects, some of which carry additional qualifications. Other experiences allow students to develop characteristics which will enhance their employability skills. Students’ commitment to the enrichment programme and their achievements will be referred to in employer and/or university references and provide useful evidence in personal statements/applications.
