Wider Learning Week

Each year, we organise a Wider Learning Week towards the end of the Summer Term, for students in Years 7-9 and 12. Year 10 will be taking part in their work experience, while Years 11 and 13 will have completed their studies and left school.

Wider Learning Week provides enriching learning experiences in familiar and new contexts. Activities will challenge students and promote a wider understanding and independence, as well as developing their key skills, and allowing them to engage in wider learning.

In 2025-26, it will take place from Monday 6 - Friday 10 July. See more details below.
