Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Enrichment Opportunities on offer at Eaton Bank Sixth Form are second to none; personal development, work-related learning and leadership skills are given a high priority, given the proven positive impact this has on future lives and University applications. Our students display an impressive social conscience and do a lot to help younger students through peer mentoring and coaching. Students also volunteer in the local community and make the most of work experience opportunities. There really is something for everyone with EPQ, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, theatre visits, sports leadership opportunities, performing arts workshops and working with our feeder primary schools. In addition to these regular opportunities, we also benefit from partnerships with local charities, which in turn, leads to opportunities for our Sixth Form students to take part in fundraising and charity work.
