Holyhead School

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.
