Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Students are expected to engage with their subjects beyond the classroom. Some subject areas provide outside speakers or organise visits to lectures at local universities in order to engage and challenge students. These are designed to raise awareness of opportunities and issues in the world today and so are wide-ranging.
