PROGRAMME
Enrichment is at the heart of the
community at Varndean College. It
is an essential part of the teaching
and learning journey for all
students and an overall contributor
to your experience at College.
Enrichment plays an essential role in allowing you
the opportunity to develop transferable skills, access
learning beyond the curriculum and contribute to the
College community. In addition, enrichment provides
you with the opportunity to build social links outside
of the classroom and a platform to enjoyable and
supported activities.
When you enrol at Varndean College, you will select
an enrichment which will be added to your timetable.
You are welcome to choose an enrichment that
supports your subject choices or try something
completely different, the choice is yours! Some of the
enrichment courses have a qualification attached and
allow you the opportunity to access this alongside
your studies. Other enrichments are focused
on development outside of structured lessons /
assessment aims. Whichever you choose will be a
compulsory part of your timetable as it will not only
benefit you during your time at College, but also
be a valuable asset ahead of interviews, university
applications and progression opportunities.
The Enrichment programme at Varndean College is
called ‘Varndean Values - Enrichment’. ‘Varndean
Values - Enrichment’ offers a bespoke extra-curricular
experience for every student. Enrichments are
categorised via the following headings to help you
focus on your individual pathway.
Along with the above selection of enrichments
students can launch their own societies and
groups. All students are invited to set up their own
enrichment after October Half Term. Students who
are interested in this write a proposal and submit
this for authorisation. Student Enrichment Leads to
develop organisation, communication and leadership
skills.
