Enrichment Programme

Foundation Year , Year 10 , and KS5 students are able to select enrichment opportunities for each Friday afternoon, these sessions are selected by picking a choice for the whole academic year, at the start of each year they are able to select again for the year ahead.

  • Bits and Bytes – As part of our Cyber Gold Award status students learn how to code to enhance their curriculum studies.
  • Duke of Edinburgh Award – This national programme is delivered with a view that students are able to secure their D of E Bronze award.
  • Eureka – Eureka science projects give students the opportunity to explore creative, hands-on investigations in science. These projects focus on problem-solving, experimentation, and innovation, helping learners apply scientific principles to real-world challenges.
  • STEM Primary Schools – SUTC students support and deliver STEM enrichment sessions for primary school pupils, introducing them to exciting concepts in science, technology, engineering, and maths. The activities focus on hands-on experiments, problem-solving challenges, and real-world applications, helping young learners build confidence and curiosity in STEM subjects.
