ENRICHMENT
Beyond the Classroom
Overview
Enrichment is an integral part of our pupils’ education and experience here at Ipswich High School.
At Ipswich High School we offer our co-curricular programme (we call this ‘Enrichment’). The 300 clubs and activities we offer as part of our Enrichment Programme are embedded as part of the school day and provide a wealth of diverse and engaging activities to our pupils at every stage of their education. From academic enrichment activities to sports and arts clubs, our enrichment activities promote fun, teamwork, and a commitment to learning and self-improvement.
