Enrichment
It has never been more important for a school to seek to develop and nurture the whole child, to ensure that during their five years of secondary education, they are mentally, physically, and academically ready to thrive in the adult world.
To this end, we launched our Enrichment Programme in September 2022, and it has proven a huge success. It provides an opportunity to be creative, ambitious, and visionary in our approach to the secondary school experience. We are pleased to be able to continue to run this programme again this year.
The aim of the Swanmore Enrichment Programme is to celebrate and promote wellbeing, functional skills, and social skills in a purposeful way, tailored to the interests of the individual. Every pupil will have the opportunity to select activities and experiences that appeal to them, and with such a diverse range of options on offer, we believe that there should be something that appeals to everyone.
This page gives pupils an overview of the range of activities on offer to hopefully spark an interest in an opportunity or a skill that they would like to select.
The overriding aim of each activity is to pursue fun and high-level engagement with a sense of purpose, and we believe that this combination will serve to enhance and support the all-round experience of your child as they also pursue their academic education at Swanmore.
Guidance Notes
Please read these guidance notes before selecting your choices:
You are selecting activities for the Summer term 2025.
- Pupils will be selecting their options online in the coming week. Please discuss these option choices at home so pupils can make their selections promptly.
- Please pick 5 enrichment activities you would be willing to take part in. Everyone will get one of their five choices.
- We will allocate places once all pupils have selected their five preferences. We cannot, however, guarantee that pupils will be with their friends.
- If we are unable to give a pupil their preferences, then we will discuss options with them on an individual basis.
- Those pupils who have already committed to Bronze Art Award, Spud Club, Dance Live, GCSE French or GCSE Spanish will not be required to make five choices as they have already been allocated a place for Summer 2025.
- Please be aware that some activities are across multiple year groups while others are exclusive to a certain year group or groups. The options information clearly states the year groups eligible to take each activity at the bottom of each entry and in the list at the bottom of this page.
- You will only be able to select activities that are assigned to your year group on School Buddy.
- For most activities, we request a voluntary contribution of £10 per pupil, per term.
- Some activities incur an additional charge which is clearly identified. This is to meet outside costs such as formal certification or the use of external resources. For these activities, a £10 voluntary contribution is not necessary.
- If you require support or advice with regard to payments, please get in touch with Pupil Premium via PP-help@swanmore-sec.hants.sch.uk
- If pupils do not engage with the selection process, we will allocate them to appropriate activities. This allocation may not be able to be altered once the enrichment programme has started.
Year 11 pupils
Year 11 pupils are not required to make any choices for our Summer Term Enrichment program.
Year 11 pupils will be involved in either revision groups allocated to them in school or, if they have met the rewards criteria set, they will be able to revise independently at home. More details of this scheme for this year's Year 11 cohort will follow from your year team.
