Enrichment

We believe that learning should go beyond the work set in the classroom. Our enrichment programme is designed to offer new experiences and knowledge as well as building on areas of interest. We run a comprehensive programme during dedicated registration time alongside wider activities and educational visits. The corner stones of our enrichment programme are University and Careers, Personal Growth and Development and Science and Culture. We aim to equip our Sixth formers with the skills and knowledge employers and universities are looking for.

We run three, month long modules across the academic year which give our students the opportunity to learn new skills and work with people you might not usually work with.

We feel our Sixth Formers should be at the heart of the programme and each year we adapt it to fit the needs of the students using the feedback from the student council and sixth form surveys.

This year the enrichment programme has included:

  • UCAS and Careers
