Enrichment Programme


Sixth form Enrichment programme

All Year 12 students select an Enrichment Programme option to complement their core course offer (of either A’ level subjects or Vocational level 3 Extended Diploma). There is a well- developed programme of additional activities and events to enhance student learning. By selecting an Enrichment Programme option, we are able to ensure that students leave Elutec equipped to succeed in higher education, employment and as adult members of our society.

The Enrichment programme is reviewed each year to ensure that the options continue to be relevant in developing students wider interpersonal and organisational skills, as well as important life skills.

Time is allocated on Friday afternoons for students to engage in these sixth form specific activities.

 

Options include:

Champion Readers and Paired Reading schemes

Trips and Visits

Many of these are organised by the sixth form social committee.
