Student Enrichment Programme

At Unity City Academy we are committed to developing young people who have a determination to succeed, a love of learning, pride in their academy and a strength of character. We are passionate about our pupils becoming empowered, global citizens who have a determination to improve the world as active and informed citizens. We firmly believe that it is our responsibility to provide young people with a range of personalised experiences that allow them to understand their role in contemporary Britain, to build their cultural capital and ultimately to become the community leaders of tomorrow.

At Unity City Academy we believe that extensive enrichment develops character and is an integral part of our Excellence in Personal Development offer. Informed by pupil voice, we offer a wide range of activities including sports, games, creative arts, reading and IT. All pupils have the opportunity to participate. Through enrichment, we continue to actively encourage all pupils to challenge themselves: to learn new skills and uncover hidden talents, to develop skills and work with new people.

In addition, we work with external providers to provide further opportunities for our pupils which extend far beyond the classroom. These include HeadStart, Reach Music, Barnardos, Rubies Charity and MusInc.

Our enrichment curriculum offer ensures that pupils are motivated to participate in a comprehensive programme of activities that enhance their physical, intellectual, emotional and social development as well as proactively improving physical and mental wellbeing through competition, play and enjoyment. Underpinned by our academy vision and values, our enrichment activities support pupils to build resilience, self-belief and curiosity; enabling them to develop and discover their interests and talents, preparing them for future success.
