In order to develop our students socially and academically there is an extensive programme of Enrichment. This aims to develop skills outside of the class room as well as give our students the opportunity to stand out in a workplace situation. Enrichment takes place on a Wednesday afternoon and involves a variety of external speakers, visits to Universities, skills building sessions as well as social opportunities.
