Curriculum Enrichment Week

The 2026 CEW takes place during the week commencing Monday 13th July 2026.

At the end of every term, we hold our Curriculum Enrichment Week (CEW). During this week, while our Year 10 students are out on work experience, all other year groups are encouraged to take part in activities they wouldn’t usually have the opportunity to do. Students in Years 8 and 9 can apply for a range of week-long activities or residential trips, while Year 7 students celebrate the end of the school year with a carousel of activities and a school fête. These experiences are designed to build confidence, develop new skills, and strengthen existing ones. They also give students the chance to socialise with their peers and get to know each other outside of the classroom environment. Of course, students are always encouraged to take part in our wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities that run throughout the year, as well as other school trips, including our popular annual ski trip, which takes place outside of CEW.

Due to the volume of students and the cost of the activities, costs vary depending on which activity a student takes part in, and this is payable by parents. However, we work hard to keep the costs down to a minimum so that more students can take part. This means that if there aren’t enough students on a particular activity, this could be cancelled and replaced with a different activity. We always aim to ensure that students still take part in something they will enjoy. Activities take place both in school and at external locations.

Every year the booklet and activities are updated. We endeavour to continue to provide students with the most rewarding activities possible and to ensure students are happy and safe during their week away from school as they know it.
