Enrichment
Every fortnight, students at the secondary site step away from their usual timetabled lessons and take part in Enrichment during period 5 — this is a unique opportunity to explore new interests, develop life skills, and build their cultural capital.
Each term, students select from an exciting and ever-evolving menu of over 50 enrichment sessions, carefully designed to inspire and engage.
These sessions span five key areas: Civic Engagement, Arts and Culture Nature, Outdoor, Adventure, Sport and Physical Activity and Developing Wider Life Skills.
The variety on offer is impressive. Recent sessions have included: pet care, netball, junkyard couture, British Sign Language, university cooking preparation, darts, Heights gym, school magazine, papier-mâché, musical theatre, laser tag, sewing, board games, crashmat rounders, fitness for skiing, Russian, mountain biking, Kin Ball, and swimming.
Students have embraced the chance to try something new, connect with peers, and grow skills that extend far beyond the curriculum. Whether it’s learning a language, taking part in team sports, or crafting something creative, Enrichment at The Bay is all about discovering passions and unlocking potential.
Enrichment choices for Autumn 2026
We have now published our Enrichment offer for the Autumn term 2026.
Click here to read through the sessions in the Autumn Term Booklet and pick out 5 sessions you would be interested in taking for your Autumn Enrichment choice.
For each session you have information about what will be covered and the key skills you will develop. Some sessions are available for all year groups, others have specific year groups targeted, please check this carefully before making your choice.
Some sessions only have the capacity for a small group of students; this might mean that they are popular and names have to be drawn from a hat.
Once you have completed the choice selection form during tutor time, we will email your personal school email account with the session you have been allocated for the Autumn term (Sep-Dec 2026).
Enrichment choices for Summer 2026
