Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
On a Friday afternoon, we run a ‘leisure curriculum’. This is an opportunity for students to take part in a wide range of activities and develop new skills. Through leisure activities, students learn how to self-manage during periods of less structured time and, crucially, learn more about themselves and what they find enjoyable and fulfilling. These are essential skills for mindfulness and enrichment. Within Sixth Form, this largely gives the students the chance to socialise and to develop this all important facet of their characters.
