Enrichment is an important addition to a student’s life in a school. These opportunities allow students to develop or hone the skills needed to become well rounded members of society. Our enrichment activities allow students to develop their personal interests, passions and talents beyond the academic curriculum. Students get the opportunity to work with other students and teachers that they may not have chance to work with. This allows students to develop relationships and build friendships with those who have common interests.
Excellent enrichment is an essential part of school life and all students will have access to this exciting programme. The contributions to our programme will be celebrated and teachers and students will feel proud of their involvement. The range, quality and up-take of opportunities will be impressive. Through the Enrichment Programme activities, students develop important life skills and become well-rounded, happy and motivated young people. They have the chance to achieve success, value others and enjoy being part of the school community.

There are no ceilings to their learning, no ability groups, no discrimination, no tests and most of all no pressure.
