By taking part in enrichment activities in and out of school, students develop: “increased confidence which helps social interaction, a real aspiration to go onto higher or further education, more soft skills and a sense of wellbeing and belonging.” (An Unequal Playing Field Report 2019) Participating in groups and activities outside of lessons and outside of school helps students to develop their interests and abilities, provides valuable learning experiences outside their studies and promotes independence and interpersonal links with students in other years. There is growing evidence that students who participate in this way are happier, healthier and more successful both in school and in the future.
