Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
An important part of Sixth Form life is taking part in enrichment activities which widen experience, cultural knowledge and horizons. Our enrichment programme gives you the opportunity to try new subjects and gain new skills. These activities are pivotal to be able to apply for competitive universities, apprenticeships and employment. You will have one enrichment lesson a week.

Norfolk Higher Aspiration Schem
The Norfolk Higher Aspiration Scheme is a fantastic resource to support your academic achievement by running a range of subject-specific sessions and supporting applications to university and apprenticeships. The Higher Aspiration Scheme supports you to make competitive applications to universities of your choice, including Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. There are a wide range of events and trips that you are encouraged to take part in.
Work Experience
In Year 12 you will complete a Work Experience placement. This will provide you with important opportunities to learn and practise new skills, increase your confidence and enable you to find out more about your chosen career. Work Experience also provides valuable content for UCAS applications and CV’s, making you more desirable to universities and employers
Volunteering
We encourage you to take part in volunteering to give back to our community. This can be done in classes at the school or in the wider community such as in charity shops, care homes or youth groups. Please discuss opportunities with your tutor.
Educational trips and visits
Throughout the year you will have many opportunities to participate in trips and excursions that link to most subjects. The purpose of the trips is to support curriculum study. You are advised to consult with your teachers at the start of the academic year about provisional dates and costs to allow for financial planning. Support from the 16-19 Bursary may also be available.
