Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
We recognise the importance of a healthy mind and body for our Sixth Form students. As such, we offer all of our Year 12 students weekly enrichment opportunities, as well as access to the whole school enrichment programme. By offering a range of both physical and practical activities, students can look forward to having access to outstanding provision and support from specialist staff. Below you will see a snapshot of just some of the activities on offer. The enrichment programme is overseen by the PE faculty and Ms Silla, who will regularly communicate with students and ask for their opinions on the next round of activities.
