Enrichment activities are available to all pupils and provide opportunities for pupils to make progress against profoundly personalised targets.

Personal development targets are derived through a Strengths and Needs Analysis which encapsulates the views of all stakeholders.  Enrichment activities offer opportunities for holistic growth for pupils, through weekly sessions where they can make progress towards their personal development targets in addition to opportunities within the academic curriculum.

Progress against personal development targets is reviewed, monitored and moderated throughout the school year. We record and evidence progress using the app ‘Evidence for Learning’. Evidence is collected in the form of photographs, videos and staff comments.

Many of our enrichment activities also allow students to gain additional awards and qualifications. Both awards support exploration and supported risk-taking and develop confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting. There is also a strong emphasis on encouraging pupils to expand their leisure activities and take part in community based groups and clubs.

Below is a list of some enrichment opportunities offered that can lead to AQA awards. These change throughout the year to add variety and to make best use of local facilities. Examples of recently run Enrichment Activities include:

• BMX
• Art Wellbeing
• Resin Art
• Criminal Law
