At Lightcliffe Academy, we view enrichment as a central part of the curriculum, where learning is enhanced and complements the main curriculum.
The enrichment offer, and student engagement with the programme, is a unique feature of the Academy, and the variety of the offer allows every student to find or develop an interest, hobby or skill that they are passionate about, which can be developed and sustained over time. This could include courses such as the Duke of Edinburgh or the National Citizen Service, alongside volunteering within the Academy and the local community. Every student participant will be acknowledged, and their successes celebrated.
Subjects will offer every year group an opportunity for student enrichment throughout the academic year. This might weekly, or across a set period.
A plan for the year for each subject will be developed by middle leaders to ensure that all students have an opportunity to be involved with extra-curricular activities in all subjects at some point within the year. Each term a plan will be shared with students and parents about which activities are available for students and when.
Activities will take place on Monday - Thursday at form time, lunchtime and after school.
Middle leaders will decide which day is best suited to their departments and students.
Some activities will run across the year, with sessions calendared in. For example, the Duke of Edinburgh award.
The extra-curricular programme will create a well-rounded experience for Lightcliffe students.
Students will be able to develop both skills and experience lifelong learning activities, that will help them to succeed in further education and employment.
