Enrichment Activities

Show all activities

All students within our Sixth Form follow an agreed study programme which comprises their academic studies, tutor periods and enrichment. We intend that the acquisition of subject specialist knowledge combined with life skills and an understanding of the world around them, will equip our students for their future and enable them to make informed decisions.

Focused Learning Day Programme

3 days per year off-timetable to cover a range of topics linked to cultural diversity, physical and mental health, post-18 opportunities (higher education, employment or apprenticeships) and guest speakers including the University of Bath. Students also go on the UCAS convention and a range of apprenticeship and employment conventions throughout the two years.

Sport and Creativity Programme:

Once per week on a Wednesday morning, students have the chance to undertake a range of opportunities linked to their wellbeing and development. Current offers include; cooking, sport, craft skills, debating, MOOCs EPQ and British Sign Language.

Community Programme

Each year, all students are encouraged to take part in the Community Programme, where students volunteer within the school community. Opportunities include peer reading and numeracy at KS3, mentoring at GCSE, and running clubs. This is a fantastic way for students to build their confidence, inter-personal skills of more specific academic knowledge.
