Students Embrace a Wide Range of Enrichment Opportunities

The Lower Academy Enrichment Programme continues to go from strength to strength this school year, offering students a wide range of clubs and activities that support personal development, wellbeing, and learning beyond the classroom.

The current timetable includes opportunities such as sports, debate and science clubs, creative writing, music, literacy leaders, and a variety of art-based clubs; giving students the chance to explore interests, develop skills, and work alongside peers in a supportive environment.

Before Christmas, students took part in enrichment activities dedicated to supporting the planning and preparation of our successful Christmas Fayre. These sessions helped students develop teamwork and organisational skills and contributed to raising over £1,000 for the Fairtrade Foundation, a fantastic achievement.

Participation in enrichment clubs continues to grow, and we are pleased to recognise a group of students who have already received an award for attending 10 or more enrichment sessions. Later in the year, students who attend enrichment clubs will also be entered into a raffle with exciting prizes, helping to celebrate their commitment and engagement.
