Enrichment at Patchway is central to the personal development of our students.  It takes many different forms from the traditional staff led sports and drama activities, through an increasing number of student led activities and onto the diverse range of inter-house activities.  Students have the opportunity to develop their skills in the chosen area but equally as important they get to develop and build a range of lifelong skills.  Friendships are formed and interests in activities previously not considered or available are developed.  Evidence points to the fact that students who take part in enrichment activities attain better results, make more progress and have improved attendance and attitudes to learning.
