Enrichment Week

Next week is Enrichment Week! The school timetable will be suspended and all pupils in years 7-9 will undertake 'enrichment' activities. This coming weekend we have trips departing to Belgium, France, Netherlands and our own London!!

For the remaining pupils in school, parents were asked last term whether they wanted to opt for option A, which would be free of charge, option B, which would be at a cost of £30 or option C which would be a cost of £60. There is also the option of adding on the end of year rewards trip to Blackpool pleasure beach on Thursday of that week for an extra £20 (this includes coach travel subsidised by school). There are 185 places available on this trip and will be prioritised to pupils based on behaviour and attendance over the year, with individual cases also being taken into account.

The timetable for Enrichment Week can be found below. The activities that are referred to as ‘in and around school’ include the following with the activities ranging in duration from 1 hour to a full day. Pupils will be able to see which

group they are in by checking the Enrichment notice board outside the Diner at school. Pupils will not be required to wear school uniform during the week, instead they should wear PE kit or other alternative sportswear. For activities occurring in and around school, the usual school timings of 8.45am to 3pm will apply. For the trips out of school, please see this PowerPoint for timings.
