Enrichment Days
Our classroom curriculum is complemented each year by sets of Enrichment Days, during which normal timetables are 'collapsed' for two days to enable trips and visits, cross-curricular work and focussed subject or skills-based activities to take place.
From March 2020-July 2021 we were unable to run Enrichment Days, so we are pleased to be able to reinstate them on our calendar this year.
2022-23 Enrichment Days
We are looking forward to another packed programme this year!
Families will receive letter relating to any trips taking place. Payment for trips is made via ParentPay and will be funded for our Futures students.
If students are unable to attend a particular trip then activities linked to that aspect of the curriculum will be facilitated for them to complete within school.
Please see below for the schedule. Timings of the school day will remain the same with the exception of tutor time ending early at 8.45 to enable students to find their way to activities, and trips to depart promptly:
