Years 7 & 8 Timetabled Enrichment

As part of our curriculum in Year 7 & 8, we offer a timetabled extra-curricular lesson once a fortnight to give students the opportunity to experience a wider variety of enriching extra-curricular activities that would not otherwise be covered in their curriculum lessons.

We offer this in timetabled lessons in order to provide both status to this vital area of school life and we are also conscious that some students find it very difficult to attend enrichment sessions after school.

We feel this is important because in the future all our young people will go on to the world of work and many will complete Further/Higher Education. All these routes require a young person to “market their strengths”, to highlight what makes them “stand out” from the crowd. Life is full of elements of competition, and it is important for all young people to be prepared by gathering experiences through a wide range of opportunities on offer at HEHS.

These extra-curricular timetabled lessons will:

• Widen personal experience, often providing access to new skills.
• Improve communication skills grow and personal relationships.
• Develop confidence, leadership and self-discipline.

Improving mental health and general wellbeing. Learning how to relax and getting involved in an activity for enjoyment.

The current carousel includes the following offerings below. Please note, this may change over the year.
