Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Enrichment can be classed as anything that goes beyond the standard curriculum to enhance and enrich students development. It is an opportunity for students to expand their learning and develop new skills and interests. There are multiple studies that reaffirm that participation in after-school activities results in better grades, better behavior in the classroom and better work habits. At Weavers, our aim is to have 100% of our students involved in a weekly enrichment activity either within school or in the community.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical, cultural and adventurous activities, designed to support the personal and social development of young people. It offers an individual challenge and encourages young people to undertake exciting, constructive, challenging and enjoyable things in their free time.
