Enrichment
The challenge of all schools is to find flexible learning structures in which curricula can be delivered to meet the needs of its students. All students have a right to achieve their potential and it is the responsibility of schools to provide the opportunities for students to realise their potential and perform well at the level of their ability.
Our curriculum is enriched by a diverse range of opportunities, which allows a student to follow their individual interests and talents in a more challenging and fulfilling way. Creative, academic and sport loving students are presented with the opportunity to join ensembles, teams, productions, clubs and competitions and take part in activities that extend their abilities and achievement within a group of equally interested students. Overseas educational experiences are offered to challenge preconceived notions of how people and places are. On all the tours students are encouraged to raise funds together and work independently to pay for their place and passage. All students are therefore eligible. Students overall are encouraged to become involved from the beginning, support the activities offered and be enriched by the experience.
