Education Enrichment

Life at Laureate is more than just lessons. We are proud to offer an exciting variety of extra-curricular activities to help students uncover their passions and expand their horizons. Our wide variety of activities means there is something for every interest — from sports and music to drama, debate, and STEM.

We believe that a strong Education Enrichment programme is an essential part of raising the aspirations of our pupils and giving them both the knowledge and the skills to achieve excellence, regardless of their background or individual circumstances. We want our young people to develop curiosity about, and passion for, what they are learning in school. To complement our curriculum, therefore, our Educational Enrichment programme helps to bring our students’ learning to life through the provision of subject-specific field and residential trips, competitions and workshops.

Clubs are subject to change throughout the year so be sure to check the club timetable to see what is currently running!
