Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
It's vitally important to us that students are given enrichment opportunities through their time at Stokesley School to balance their academic work. Some of these enrichment activities are offered directly through the LIFE curriculum, whilst others come through trips, visits and activities in other curriculum areas. We continue to expand our enrichment offer at Stokesley School, but at the minute are proud to offer at least one enrichment opportunity per year to students in school. Our current offer can be seen below.

Student Leadership Membership
Students are encouraged to affect positive change by joining our Student Leadership team which enables them to develop their leadership skills.
Student Service
Many of our students take up opportunities offered by the National Citizenship Service as well as within the local community. We also have a wide range of volunteer opportunities within our main school where students may contribute to the school by taking up roles as mentors, teaching assistants, sports leaders, as well as assisting younger students to improve their reading skills as part of our Accelerated Reading Programme.
Organising Fundraising Events
Each year our sixth form students organise a number of charitable events, raising money for charities such as Children in Need and Comic Relief amongst others.
