In addition to the timetabled curriculum lessons that all students have here at the Community College, we also provide a fortnightly ‘Enrichment’ afternoon for all students. This is a wonderful enhancement to our curriculum, when all staff and students take part in a variety of activities which are chosen to allow students to broaden their knowledge, skills and experience.
