Paddleboard one day, learn to make noodles the next, create a musical in a day, followed by a day honing your tennis skills and then a visit to Harry Potter World, or maybe making Aardman Animation characters instead…. we are delighted to present Enrichment Week 2024!
Enrichment Week 2024 promises to deliver even more enriching opportunities for our students that will truly develop character and enhance experiences. We have something for everyone, enabling students to develop their moral courage, resilience, self-confidence and limitless aspirations along the way, giving a range of experiences and exciting opportunities.
Once you and your daughter have a short list of activities for each day, you will need to log into SchoolsBuddy https://www.schoolsbuddy.com/
Important Information:
-
Pick at least 3 activities each day and rank them in order from 1 to 3. You can make up to 5 ranked choices each day if there are a number of activities you are wanting to participate in.
-
If there is one activity you are very keen on that is running on multiple days you can rank it highly for every day it is available, you will not be allocated the same activity more than once.
-
If your daughter is already signed up for and has paid the deposit for one of the residential activities you will see this has been auto-allocated. You should have received confirmation about places for any residential choices by the time you read this letter!
We appreciate that your daughter may be focussed on one particular activity per day but each activity has a capacity and some will be oversubscribed so the ranking system allows us to ensure a fair spread of higher choices across the Year Group. No activities are first come first served.
You do not need to pay for any activities until your daughter has been allocated a place. Once we have confirmed allocations you will then be asked to pay via ParentPay to ensure we can secure everything ready for Enrichment Week.
Please follow the instructions once you have logged on to SchoolsBuddy and they will guide you through the process.
