ENRICHMENT CURRICULUM
The sixth form at Great Marlow School has a diverse and inclusive range of enrichment activities, which demonstrate the importance to the school of imbuing the students with non-academic skills and fostering capable, caring individuals who are aware of their strengths and how to contribute to their community and wider society.
The opportunities for students offered by the enrichment programme are valued by universities and employers
alike for the
transferable skills that can be learnt and applied. We run several visits and seminars including: Safe Drive, UCAS Day and Elevated work experience week.
Throughout the academic year, students have collapsed timetable days in which they learn study skills, university and job application techniques, personal health and other various modules that better their
understanding of
important issues in their society.
FUNDRAISING
The Senior Prefect Team is superb and are integral in helping to organise and run whole school events such as Children in Need, Red Nose Day, Sports Day and Open Evenings; many are involved in mentoring students in younger year groups and liaising with primary schools.
Our senior prefects are excellent role models and are led by the head boy and head girl who ensure that the student voice is heard and that student issues are represented. They ensure that there is excellent communication between staff and students. They have a high profile within the school and the community.
The work that sixth formers do for charity and fundraising is formidable.
Interact is a
group of volunteers who meet each week with members of the Rotary Club to plan events throughout the year for local charities. Through a variety of high-profile events, our sixth form raised over £3000 for charity last year. The student body also contributes each year to local charities and visits pensioners with gifts at Christmas time.
WORK EXPERIENCE
During the summer term, all Year 12 students will be expected to organise their own work experience
placements. EXTRA-CURRICULAR
For several years now, students have been sent to visit Auschwitz in Poland as part of the ‘Letters from Auschwitz’ Holocaust Memorial Scheme. On their return, they deliver whole school assemblies to raise awareness of this period in history.
Year 12 and 13 football team have played in a league against other sixth forms and colleges. Students in Year 12 and 13 are also able to complete their Duke of Edinburgh Gold award, positively regarded by universities and employers alike. The superb new sports facilities are available to our sixth formers who are time-tabled for PE and extra curricular activities, for one hour per week. If students are proactive, energetic and motivated, they will find that there is huge scope and support to add to the variety of enrichment activities.
In addition, we
encourage our students to volunteer for local charities in their study periods.
YOUNG ENTERPRISE
Young Enterprise is also offered to Year 12 students.
It provides a unique opportunity
for students to run their own mini businesses. It is well recognised by employers and is an extremely desirable enrichment activity for A-level students.
COMPULSORY LESSONS
PE is a compulsory timetabled lesson once a week for A-level students. All students are expected to participate in some form of physical exercise.
