Academic Enrichment and Extension
“Pupils engage enthusiastically in their learning and excel in a wide range of extra-curricular pursuits and enrichment opportunities.”
ISI Report 2018
Daily Academic Enrichment lessons are timetabled to boost and extend your child’s learning.
Inspiring Trips and workshops
Throughout the year, academic enrichment trips augment school-taught topics. Regular visits to local museums and places of interest, as well as overseas trips, bring the curriculum to life. Past journeys have included Pompeii for Geography and Latin students, France for linguists, and Rome and Tuscany for choristers.
A regular programme of workshops to support the curriculum such as an Egyptian Day, Roman Invaders Day, Science Week and Author visits.
Nurturing the Able, Gifted, and Talented
Our mission is to help every student maximise their potential in every dimension. This includes nurturing ‘able and gifted’ learners who demonstrate strong intellectual and academic abilities, and ‘talented’ learners who shine in practical areas such as sports, music, and performing arts.
To stretch these students, we offer:
- A comprehensive programme of educational trips and visits
- Opportunities for leadership development and independent learning
- Participation in national competitions like Mathematics Challenge
- European Day of Languages
- Individual music lessons and opportunities to participate in concerts, choirs, musical enrichment days, trips and Woodard Musician of the Year
- Public speaking competitions and the chance to undertake art projects and enter national art competition
- A rich programme of co-curricular trips to art galleries, theatres, and museums
- An Extended Sports Programme with specialist training
- Connections with local, national, and international sports clubs and organisations.
