Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
All students are given the opportunity to take part in a range of enrichment activities. This gives the students a chance to explore areas other than their academic studies.

Work Experience
Gives students the opportunity to look at the world of work. This is essential for anyone who wishes to enter teaching or the health service. We recommend that all students should participate in some form of work experience, at some stage in the Sixth Form. University admission tutors and employers look favourably at young people who have developed their skill base.
