Enrichment
We are particularly proud of the enrichment provision we have for our students here at SRPA. The variety of opportunities our students have are wide ranging and provide further support with building character.
Extra Curricular Activities Calendar, including PE and Expressive Arts – Rise and Read through to Science Club, check it out!
Student Leadership – Get involved with your House Team! Could you support other students around the academy?
Duke of Edinburgh Award – Do you love an adventure and want to meet like minded people?
We have been running a thriving DofE centre for many decades and are proud to be able to offer this enriching, extra-curricular activity for our students, who realise there is more to life than being a couch potato.
We run our programme at three levels, which when completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. These awards are achieved by completing a personal programme of activities in four sections (five if students are going for Gold): Volunteering, Physical, Skills, Expedition (and for Gold, a Residential).
Doing a DofE award brings many advantages and positives:
– helping people or the community
– getting fitter
– developing skills
– going on an expedition for two or more days and being self-sufficient
– problem solving
– self-management
– developing a sense of responsibility
– reliability
– perseverance
– resilience
– team working
– leadership
– communication
– making decisions under pressure
– you get to choose what you do, as long as it conforms within the criteria for a section
– employers favour the can-do attitude of candidates with a DofE award
– looks great on UCAS applications
Due to a limited places available, we would advise you to return your application forms as soon as possible. Please join us on our open evenings, the Y9 DofE meeting, or simply contact us.
These amazing opportunities all develop ‘the qualities and attributes students need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society’, supporting our core aims set out in our personal development programme.
