Enrichment Week 2022

Year 7 students enjoyed a trip to Warwick Castle and followed up their visit with the building of trebuchets in the Design Technology department.

They also completed a First Aid Training course, including administering bandages, assisting people who are choking and learning the techniques of CPR.

Year 8 students visited Bempton, enriching their study of ecosystems and marine biology. They also made miniature wind turbines and competed in teams to find a blade design that generated the greatest amount of electricity. They finished their week with an internallyproduced Duke of Edinburgh Taster Day.

Year 9 students took part in the annual Creativity Challenge and a Stomp Competition – a dance and percussion performance showcasing their choreography and dance skills!

Year 10 students overcame the disappointment of a trip to Spain that fell through at the last moment due to national issues relating to flights to enjoy a hastily-arranged trip to the beach (Bridlington being the next best substitute for Barcelona!), First Aid Training and a collection of teamwork tasks. In keeping with the school’s founding mission and its ethos, all students in Years 7 to 10 and 12 also took part in a collection of Community Days

This year, local projects benefitting from students’ enthusiasm and generosity of time included the PATT (Plant a Tree Today) Foundation, Emmaus, Thoresby School mural painting, Driffield station gardening, Hull Vineyard Church, Dove House Charity Shops’ distribution centre and the Hull for Heroes allotment.

Well done to all the students for throwing themselves into the activities with such gusto!
