Enrichment is a central and impactful part of school time at Valley Academy. Students can participate in Enrichment as part of the extended school community programme, which is available to all students. Enrichment runs from 2:30pm to 3:30pm on Mondays to Fridays, with some sessions running during lunchtimes.

The activities are based on our three core areas of sports, arts and enterprise.  Our passion is to ensure that these activities are delivered by the very best teachers and external coaches who are professionals in their fields of expertise.  The types of activities are wide and varied from Performing Arts to Ju-Jitsu to School Newspaper Club to Swimming to Cooking Skills. Further, example activities are shown below. There’s something for everyone!

Here is a sample of the kind of enrichments we offer students:

Art, Archery, Basketball, Boxing for boys, Boxing for girls, Bikeability, Dance, Debating Club, DJ’ing, Fencing, First Aid, Food Life Skills, Green Society, Ju-Jitsu, Performance Club, Photography, Science Club, Sports Leaders Award, Study Club, Team Building. If it relates to Sports, the Arts or Enterprise, we’ll find a way to make it happen!

All students are expected to achieve a minimum level of enrichment each year and earn merits for this. This culminates at the end of the year with awards and prizes.
