KS4 Student Guide

Summer

2016

Dear parents, carers and students,

KS4 students are encouraged to participate in the enrichment

programme; however it is not a compulsory expectation, unless

they are required to attend a subject intervention. Students are

actively invited to contribute to the enrichment programme by

becoming involved in leading or supporting staff in the delivery

of activities.

Students who elect to attend an enrichment and students that

are required to attend a subject intervention are expected to

attend the enrichment for the whole term and on the rare

occasions of being absent from their enrichment, students must

present an absence note (written by parent/carer) to the

enrichment teacher prior to the day of enrichment.

The Student Enrichment Option Selection Form must be re-

turned by the deadline, indicated on page 3.

Students will have opportunities to provide feedback and review

activities at the end of each term. To monitor progress in the

development of ‘BRIDGES’ skills, students will use the same ac-

tivity tracking and review sheet throughout an academic year.

Students’ feedback is also encouraged throughout the year and

‘Children who participate in after school programmes can reap a

host of positive benefits in a number of areas: academic, social/

emotional, and health and well-being.’

Little, Wimer, and Weiss, ‘After School Programmes in the 21st Century’, 2008
