Subjects that are currently on offer in the enrichment block at Jo Richardson are:
Duke of Edinburgh Silver or Gold Award – opportunity to advance skills already gained on expeditions for the Bronze Award. Those that have not done a Bronze should see Miss Montague if interested.
University and Apprenticeship Advice, Guidance and Support – we provide time and expertise to support students as they research and plan for their post 18 options. With partners in elite universities we support students to explore their options and maximise their potential to follow their chosen path.
Enterprise – an opportunity to create, plan and run a business.
Sport/ Fitness activities – either individually or as a group, students can organise sporting activities either on school site (in agreement with the PE Department) or at a Leisure Centre. There are football, basketball, 10 pin bowling and table tennis competitions.
Department Volunteering – students can assist a department by supporting a lesson, club on a weekly basis. They may wish to also help out at Open Evenings.
Library Volunteering – similar to department volunteering but based in the library. Students would have particular responsibility in helping to develop the new Careers Library section.
Volunteering outside School – students may already be involved in volunteering outside of school – this can count towards their enrichment hours. Students may wish to develop their volunteering to help the community and can gain help from staff to do this.
First Give – working with others to raise money for local charities and bid for funding from Jack Petchey.
