Enrichment

“Anything that someone chooses to do outside of academic studies of benefit to themselves and others.”

In the Sixth Form we take enrichment seriously.  Success comes from qualifications, experiences and skills and the programme of enrichment will support all three.  Enrichment activities and experiences broaden horizons, develop new skills and cultivate personal and social qualities such as commitment, good citizenship, initiative, leadership and team spirit.

Enrichment is embedded into the timetable of all of our Sixth Form and a core expectation when joining the School.  Examples of our enrichment activities include:

• Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award 
• Future Fridays 
• Societies 
• Reading curriculum 
• Games 

Student Mentoring

Sixth Form students have been trained to become Mentors and work with younger students to offer counselling support for children who may need support at school or home with issues such as homework, friendship groups or just need a friendly face to talk to.  A buddy reading scheme is also in place whereby Sixth Formers work with students in Year 7 and 8 to improve their reading, confidence and communication skills.

Students have volunteered to support local charities and local schools in a variety of roles and activities.
