Enrichment
We have fully accessible outdoor gyms, a sports hall and sports pitches for our young
people to enjoy, as well as indoor therapy facilities including sensory rooms and ball pools.
We are lucky to be situated in a beautiful rural setting, perfect for walks, bike rides or just to
explore! We have a 3-acre apple orchard, and run a specialist horticultural area with
chickens and allotments.
Enrichment at Sixth Form includes visits to popular attractions both locally and nationally,
based on both individual and group hobbies and interests. These visits take place
throughout the year with the aim of providing additional opportunities to visit the
community and explore their future pathways in more detail. We also welcome a host of
visiting shows and experiences such as pantomimes, interactive music performances and
drama sessions.
We have a fleet of vehicles used to accommodate a variety of outings.
Learners also participate in PDBA (Personal Development, Behaviour and Attitudes). This is
an opportunity for learners to become more self-aware in their journey to adulthood. They
are encouraged to become more mature, independent and confident, developing a sense
of social justice and moral responsibility reflecting on how their choices and behaviour may
affect others. They learn how to make better, more informed choices about their health and
environment and take responsibility for their own learning.
Sixth Form Council
Staff encourage learners to use their voice to shape their own and their peers experience
of life at Sixth Form. A key part of this process is participating in Council meetings, meeting
every half term. During the meetings, learners are supported to discuss important issues
and topics, and cast votes on outcomes. Topics include Enrichment trips, Christmas
activities, health and safety issues and safeguarding. Learners run democratic campaigns
to become Chair each year, appealing for votes from their peers in order to take up the
position. Safeguarding is at the centre of every meeting, with learners discussing how they
feel at Sixth Form and during trips, and what makes them feel safe.
