Enrichment
We have been awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Enrichment. The award states that our enrichment programme is
“a national exemplar of what can be done at sixth-form level to extend students’ education and personal growth beyond their academic courses. Hugely varied and demanding, the programme calls on students to develop self-reliance, promotes citizenship and prepares them to meet the world of work or further study with confidence and commitment.”
Our 2025 Ofsted report said
“students benefit from a rich and comprehensive enrichment programme which they take part in alongside their studies. They learn new languages and explore new interests such as stock market trading, robotic engineering and beekeeping. Students participate in entrepreneurship projects and environmental action groups through which they develop valuable leadership skills and a deep understanding of important matters such as sustainability.”
Enrichment takes place at lunchtimes, throughout the week, as well as on Wednesday afternoons. Activities vary in length and from year to year. Typically, there are over 100 activities to choose from. Students are expected to do at least one activity, typically for an hour each week, during terms 1 and 2.
Enrichment activities are divided into 4 categories. Please see the image below:

Please note that these are the proposed enrichment activities running this year, but they may change. Moodle (the internal College intranet) always has the up-to-date list. Students are given the opportunity to pick an enrichment once enrolled at Greenhead College.
