All Year 12 are timetabled to one hour of Enrichment per week. Students will select from a range of enrichment activities. Students have the opportunity each half term to select a new option (with the exception of those that have committed to an activity that requires a longer duration or leads to a qualification). The Enrichment Programme is only available to Year 12 students to utilise a year where successful transition is essential for Post-16 success. Throughout the year with the addition of enrichment, wellbeing can be nurtured and resilience developed to prepare students for the challenges that Year 13 brings.
