Enrichment

Sport

In the Sixth Form, we encourage and support participation in sport and regular fixtures.  We organise teams in football, rugby, netball, and basketball but also allow students to take part in these sports during Enrichment time for fun and exercise. The Sports Centre is generally available for students' use on Wednesday afternoons when experienced and qualified staff are in attendance to help with use of the Fitness Suite.  Students have two periods' free use of the Fitness Suite per week.

More details on the sport facilities and activities for 2024-25 will be available soon. 

Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award

The Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award is an extremely prestigious and widely recognised youth award. It is on offer for students between the ages of 16 and 25. You do not need to have completed the Bronze or Silver Awards in order to participate in the Gold Award. 

The Gold Award involves expeditions, volunteering, sporting activities, non-sporting activities and a week-long residential. It enables you to continue to develop your communication skills, confidence, resilience, ability to commit, fitness levels and personal wellbeing. 

More details will be available in the 'Freshers' Fair' in September.

Wellbeing

The Wellbeing Hub offers a space for students to take part in mindfulness activities, arts and crafts, a safe space to relax with friends to prioritise self care. The space also offers a fully equipped gym which is exclusive to Sixth Form students and you are able to use this once you have completed a liability disclaimer form. Miss Borthwick, our Wellbeing Lead, encourages students to opt in for the Wellbeing Enrichment to support you in prioritising your individual needs and building on your self care skills and independence. 

Peer Listening

Peer Listening has been set up by the Mental Health Foundation to encourage students to support their peers. Our Year 12 students share presentations with Year 9 volunteers on the topics of anxiety, healthy relationships, kindness and body image. Students are nominated by their Head Of Year / Assistant Head Of Year and invited to join the Sixth Form students for three sessions, are given time to reflect and share if they want to and listen.
