Enrichment

It has been great to see boys involved in so many different activities during the new Enrichment slots (4.10-5pm). We have evaluated the provision and after half-term the plan for Enrichment will be as follows:

• Each day there will be provision for Prep and Assisted Prep in the Maths classrooms (Rooms 201-203). 

• Each day there will be opportunities for boys to play board games or chess in the Geography classrooms (Rooms 321 & 328).

• Boys will not need to sign up for these sessions; they will be available each day. If boys attend they will be added to a register for that day only.

• Other Enrichment sessions targeted at school sports teams, Duke of Edinburgh, FBS Voice, drama productions, choir, orchestra, languages sessions and more will continue to run during the Enrichment slot. Staff running these sessions will advertise them directly to relevant boys. These are sessions that will require boys to commit to attending every week. 

• On Thursdays all of Year 11 will have mandatory interventions during the Enrichment slot. They will be given more information about which academic sessions to attend after half-term. Some Year 11 boys who are an academic cause for concern may be required to also attend a Monday Prep session focused on their year group. 

• Sixth Form interventions will continue to run during the Enrichment slot.

Student Lanyards Year 7 – 11

Students/Parents who are purchasing extra ID cards for boys in Year 7 – 11, spares of these will remain in the IT Office. They will only be provided to students should they lose their original ID card. This is because only one card at a time can be scanned with student details, meaning they can’t carry around multiple copies.
