We recognise that sixth form is about more than just academic courses. Therefore, at Christopher Whitehead Sixth Form, all students benefit from a tailored enrichment programme designed to enhance the mental wealth of our students and equip them with essential life skills by providing a regular alternative to academic study. The Wednesday afternoon enrichment programme is centred around three themes:

• Preparation for life – including Christopher Whitehead Cooking Academy and skills for independent living
• Physical health – including sport and fitness classes
• Personal development – including language classes and music

An example of typical enrichment opportunities offered:

• Armed Man choir rehearsals
