Parent InformationEnrichment

Enrichment is an important part of life at the Academy, giving students opportunities to discover new interests, develop skills, build confidence and enjoy time with friends beyond the classroom.

Our enrichment programme offers something for everyone, from sport and physical activity to arts and culture, outdoor and adventure activities, and future-focused skills. Students can try something new, develop an existing passion or simply enjoy spending time doing something they love.

Some activities are available to particular year groups, while others are open to students across the Academy. There are also opportunities for students to take part in competitions, fixtures and invitation-only development programmes.

When do clubs run?
Most enrichment activities take place after school, usually from around 3:15pm to 4:15pm, with some activities running later.

There are also lunchtime enrichment clubs, giving students the opportunity to get involved during the school day. Lunchtime activities vary throughout the year and may run on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

As our enrichment programme changes throughout the year, students should check the Academy screens and current enrichment timetable for the latest information, including which activities are running, who they are available to, times, locations and how to get involved.

Get involved

We encourage every student to make the most of the enrichment opportunities available to them. Whether they want to try something completely new, develop a talent or meet other students with similar interests, enrichment is a great way to become involved in the wider life of the Academy.
