Enrichment & Activities

 

KES Academy has a strong commitment to the added value of learning outside the classroom and beyond the academy’s premises. It will seek to provide a broad & balanced range of ‘learning outside the classroom’ opportunities for all its students

.

Each year the academy will arrange a number of activities that take place off the academy site and out of academy hours, which support our aims. The range of activities to which the governing body has given its approval includes:

 

- Out of hours clubs (music, drama, art, science, sport, homework, etc.)

- Sports teams

- Regular local visits (places of worship, swimming, other local amenities)

- Day visits for particular groups

- Residential visits

- Overseas visits

- Adventure activities

 

Examples of this include:

- The Year 7 History trip to Castle Acre, designed to offer activities and experiences that cannot be delivered via normal lessons

- The Year 7 and 8 trip to Eurodisney, the Year 9 and 10 French exchange to Rodez to develop language skills

- The Year 11, 12 and 13 Religious Education trip to the prison of war camps in Auschwitz, Poland

- The Year 10-13 trip to China for sports

- Language leaders and the sixth form trip to Boston, USA for sports leadership and widening horizons on future education pathways.
