Welcome to Enrichment at School 21 At School 21, our Enrichment Activities are a vital part of the learning experience, offering students meaningful opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills, and challenge themselves beyond the classroom. Our enrichment programme includes a wide range of projects such as EPQ, Social Action, Core Maths, Sports, Design & Build, and Computing. Students also have opportunities to take part in music productions, including the school’s biggest show, the Festival of Light, as well as career days, university visits, and higher education fairs that broaden their horizons and raise aspirations. These enrichment opportunities support our students by building confidence, independence, and resilience, while also developing essential skills such as problem-solving, leadership, creativity, and communication. Most importantly, they help students discover their passions and prepare for future study, careers, and active participation in society. We look forward to seeing our students thrive through these enriching experiences at School 21.
