Enrichment Programme

Our enrichment programme for the Lower Sixth takes place on Monday afternoons and aims to provide a mix of stimulating talks and workshops to inform and engage our students.

This term our programme includes:

• A Motorsport F1 presentation from GoMotorsports.
• Sue Bennett Head of Careers and Skills at the University of Warwick who will be giving students an introduction to the university admissions process. University applications may seem a long way off but students need to start their research early to ensure they make the right choices.
• Antony Jinman who will be describing his experiences on polar expeditions. Antony has been involved with the centenary celebrations of Captain Scott and his expedition to the South Pole. He is a motivational speaker who encourages students to aim high in order to achieve their own personal goals.
• Doulla Croft is the Business Development Director for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. She will be discussing the way this exciting project has developed and changed over the years/months, giving an insight into this huge event as it rapidly approaches.
• Emma Lee Potter, a novelist and freelance journalist will be discussing the opportunities and challenges of these careers.
• Filda Mary Abelkex-Lukoyomoi lived for many years in Uganda and was forced to leave the country. Her talk will be on her personal experiences whilst in this country during its civil unrest, what the situation is now and on her plans to return for a visit to see her family.

 Later in the term, the Oxfordshire Fire Service will lead a workshop on 'Safe Driving'-a topic that is seen by the emergency services as a subject all young people should take on board whether they are drivers at the present time or not.

Reports on each these talks will follow.
