Enrichment

Enrichment activities take place throughout the week at lunchtime, as well as on Wednesday afternoons. Activities vary in length and are reviewed each year, resulting in a wide range of opportunities for students. Typically, there are more than 100 activities to choose from.

We have been awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Enrichment. The award recognised our Enrichment Programme as:

“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 stated:

“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.”

Students are expected to take part in at least one activity, usually for around one hour each week during Terms 1 and 2.

Please note that these are the proposed Enrichment activities for this academic year and are subject to change. Students will have the opportunity to select their preferred Enrichment activity once they have enrolled at Greenhead College.
