Wider Participation

Enrichment Programme

The enrichment programme at St Gregory's is all about helping our students to become the best version of themselves, both inside and outside the classroom. It's designed to provide exciting opportunities to learn new skills, try different activities, and have fun while preparing for the future. Whether a student is aspiring for a place at university, an apprenticeship, or jumping straight into a career, the skills gained will help our students to stand out from the crowd.

Through the enrichment programme, we aim to embed skills that provide our students with the opportunities to make themselves attractive to further education institutions and future employers.

Our focus is on developing the 'whole person' with important personal and professional soft skills that employers and universities love to see and that help our students to take their place in society as well-rounded individuals. The programme of activities is designed to create a broad range of opportunities and experiences aimed to develop skills such as:

• leadership
• teamwork
• resilience
• communication
• problem solving 
• literacy, numeracy and technical skills
• creative and critical thinking
• independence 

Importantly, when applying for jobs, producing a CV or applying for university or apprenticeships, students will be able to talk confidently about their wider experiences of school-life and the skills they have acquired.
