We run a broad enrichment programme which gives students opportunities to get involved in a wide range of activities in Sport, Creative as well as academic subjects

Most of the activities on offer are run by our own staff but we also work with external organisations and specialist providers to ensure a high quality offer for students. We follow any DfE guidance with relation to the running of clubs during the current COVID climate.

At the moment, due to our students being grouped in bubbles, our enrichment offer also follows this with students currently not able to mix with others outside their bubble. We encourage all our students to take part in at least one activity, to enrich their experience and enjoyment of learning as well as develop new skills, interests and friendships. Previously the clubs and groups have been open to all students across all bubbles regardless of which part of the school they were from. The Post 16 students would often buddy up with younger students in the school to support them and provide some mentoring.

Unless otherwise stated, the program runs from 3.15pm – 4.30pm each day.

Alongside after school clubs, Secondary West also offers regular enrichment activities to our students. We value the importance of enrichment activities to our students; not only does it help them deepen their understanding of what they are learning in class, but it also encourages them to explore new and exciting activities that may lead to them developing a leisure interest or hobby.  Some of our enrichment activities are planned to support students to meet their EHCP targets, to develop key self regulation skills or to work towards growing independence and life skills.
