Year 10 Enrichment Booklet
         Enrichment Week
        15th – 19th July 2019

Enrichment Week (Year 10) 15th – 19th July 2019
Dear Parent / Carer,

As well as excellent academic achievement, enrichment is a
vital part of developing life-long skills in children. Now more than
ever, developing a thriving enrichment programme is an
essential part of promoting employability, academic attainment
and teaching young people the skills they need to make good
choices. These skills have benefits well beyond the classroom.

During enrichment week for 2019 on Monday 15th July we will
have our annual Sports Day and students should wear PE kit.
Tuesday students will have a career focused world of work
themed day. Wednesday will be our ‘enrichment day’ in which
this booklet details the choices available for students. Thursday
will be the tutor challenge day in which students will complete a
series of challenges with their tutor teams.

It is important to discuss this fully with your child as some have slightly different
arrival times back to school and have a costing. At this stage the costings are
approximate because it depends on the number of students who opt for the
activities. It is important your child hands their slip into the office by 9th February
2019 otherwise they will be placed into a cost free activity in school.

By 20th March 2019 students will find out their assigned option choices. Full
payment is due by 1st May 2019. If payment isn’t received by this date, your child
will be moved onto a no cost activity instead.

Year 10 students are able to do work experience if they wish but must ensure they
find their own placement (Princes Trust this is a requirement for their course). They
need to return 2 forms to the office which can be collected from the office.

Thank you for your support.

Ms G Lowe (Assistant Headteacher)
