Enrichment
Our wide-ranging enrichment and extra-curricular programme will allow our pupils to develop their passions and interests, as well as gain in confidence and self-belief.
Enrichment at Ark Blake will form part of the school day. Each pupil will have a choice of enrichment options to sign up to each term, including: Sport, Dance, Technology, Creative Writing and Journalism, Music, Art, Drama, Coding, Languages. A full range of clubs including: Homework, Sports, Debating, Drama and Music will also be timetabled.
Regular trips and visits will make the most of museums, universities and all the best that London has to offer. There will be opportunities to participate in outdoor pursuits to build confidence and leadership skills. Pupils will have access to Ark events such as: Shakespeare Schools Festival, Debating competitions, Maths challenges and Sports days. Pupils can also participate in our annual shows, music concerts, the school choir or take up instruments.
At Ark Blake Academy, pupils are challenged to undertake the Enrichment Baccalaureate. Enrichment is separated into three themes: Arts, Skills and Sports. We invite all pupils to enrol in at least one enrichment from each strand over the course of the academic year in order to be awarded the Enrichment Baccalaureate Certificate.
Enrichment takes place on Tuesday afternoons and is compulsory for all pupils (commencing January 2021). This ensures that every pupil has access to extra-curricular opportunities that will support them in realising their unique potential for seizing greatness.
For the 2020/21 academic year, the enrichment programme will rotate each half-term so that we are able to preserve our House Bubbles while ensuring a broad and balanced offer for all pupils.
