What Is Enrichment?
Enrichment is all about opportunities beyond the classroom. It’s your chance to try something new, explore your interests, and stand out when it comes to university applications, apprenticeships, or future careers. Students can take part in enrichment activities as part of their college day or during the evenings/weekends.
Why Take Part?
Our enrichment offer helps students to:
- Build Confidence – from public speaking to team challenges, you’ll grow in skills that employers and universities look for.
- Discover New Interests – whether it’s sports, creative arts, volunteering, or academic societies, there’s something for everyone.
- Boost Your CV/Personal Statement – enrichment activities show ambition, commitment, and a well-rounded character.
- Give Back – many students choose volunteering or mentoring, making a positive impact on the school and wider community.
- Balance and Wellbeing – enrichment isn’t just about achievement, it’s also about fun, relaxation, and developing healthy habits.
