We believe that enrichment plays a vital role in nurturing our students’ interests and talents. The enrichment activities on offer help to develop character, resilience, confidence and independence. Additionally, it teaches our students how to keep physically and mentally healthy. 

We have a varied enrichment programme – from sports and STEM (Science, Technology, English and Maths) to the performing and creative arts, there is something on offer for almost every student. Additionally we run a homework club for students who need a little extra support completing their homework tasks.

Our enrichment programme changes from term to term – follow the link below to view the current programme of after school clubs.
