Enrichment

At Ark St Alban’s Academy, pupils are provided with a wide-ranging enrichment offer which allows them to develop their character and university preparatory competencies.

Our enrichment offer broadly combines four categories:

1. Creative and performance arts (e.g. Dance, Drama)
2. Critical thinking and academic enrichment (e.g. EPQ, The Girls’ Network, Young Enterprise)
3. Sport, Fitness and Outdoor Pursuits (e.g. Climbing Club, Football, Sports Leader Qualification)
4. Competitions (e.g. Young Writers Poetry, British Biology Olympiad)

Choices around what to include in the enrichment offer are reviewed on a termly basis.

These choices are driven by identifying opportunities that will most effectively develop the character and university preparedness of our pupils, and by reflecting upon the passion and expertise of our existing staff team. Pupil voice also plays a pivotal role in reviewing and iterating the enrichment offer.

After-school clubs take place between 3pm and 4.10pm on the days below.
