Enrichment Week

Every year at St. Dunstan’s School, KS3 students enjoy five days of fun-filled enrichment in which they can choose from a range of trips and school based activities. Enrichment week takes place during the last week of term each year. It is a central part of our Character Education programme, as the week provides all of our students in Years 7-9 with the opportunity to develop and build skills that are underpinned by our five Track values.

We commit to activities that enrich the curriculum and help to make learning relevant. These provide a different perspective and encourage openness to new and often challenging experiences. During this week, our Year 10 students have Work Experience, providing them with the opportunity to gain an invaluable insight into the world of work, an essential part of their character journey.

This year our activities will take place between the 14th and 18th July and we have prioritised areas of enrichment so that all students have the opportunity to develop socially and emotionally by building self-esteem and confidence.
