Enrichment Week 2027

Last week marked the launch of Enrichment Week 2027, one of the Students’ most anticipated events in the Beckfoot School calendar.

Enrichment Week gives students the chance to broaden their horizons, discover new interests and take part in experiences beyond the classroom. With a wide range of exciting in-school activities, day trips and residential visits on offer, students can choose from opportunities including sports, outdoor adventure, creative arts, STEM, film, gaming, wildlife experiences and much more. Whether students want to learn a new skill, challenge themselves, or simply try something completely different, there is truly something for everyone.

Student’s should take time to consider their options carefully before making your choices by doing the following:

• Don’t pick something that you have done before. Enrichment is about experiencing something new.
• Don’t choose something just because it’s what your friends are doing.
• Do push yourself out of your comfort zone.
• Do pick an activity that you are committed to, as there is no swapping later on.
• Do make sure your choices are submitted by the deadline. We do not want you to miss out.
• Do look at the choices thoroughly when the booklet comes out.
• Do sit down and discuss your options with your parents/carers.
• Do remember that places are subject to continued good Attitude to Learning and behaviour throughout the remainder of the school year.

The options currently available are listed below. Please note that the final selection of choices will be confirmed upon publication of the booklet.
