Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Enrichment is for everyone - you do not need to be studying the subject to join in! It is important that all students maximise their potential inside and outside of the classroom. Our diverse enrichment programme will help you to gain numerous life skills, develop your interests and try out new things...and there are over 60 options to choose from!

Duke of Edinburgh's Award
DofE is about developing transferable skills in teamwork, communication and empowering and challenging young people to have a positive impact on their local community.
Sport
Here at the College, we pride ourselves in providing high quality sports enrichment. The programme we offer provides opportunities for students to take part in both competitive and recreational sports. The College competes in a wide range of sports within a number of regional and national cup competitions. All of the sports enrichment programmes are supported by an experienced team of outstanding qualified coaching staff.
Performing Arts and Drama
Performing Arts and Drama enrichment offers an opportunity for those that do not take a performance subject to get involved, and for those that do to deepen and extend their skills and experiences.
