PERFORMING ARTS

In Performing Arts Enrichment we will be acting, dancing and singing with an aim to create a performance for an audience. This could be based on a play, musical or film. We will work closely together as a group so it is perfect if you like working as a team. You will all bring certain skills and strengths in performance which we will recognise and showcase. This will lead to achieving an Arts Award at the Discover level.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH

FOR STUDENTS WHO WILL BE IN YEARS 9, 10 and 11

The Bronze Award comprises four sections: Physical, Volunteering, Skill and Expedition.

The Physical, Volunteering and Skill sections of the Award will be completed before completing the Expedition section in the summer term.

Students in our Life Skills classes for this year do Duke of Edinburgh as part of their curriculum offer.

STEM ON TRACK

STEM on Track is an exciting, hands-on course that challenges students to work collaboratively as a team to build, test, and race a fully functioning go-kart. Combining creativity, engineering, and competitive spirit, this course integrates practical skills with core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) concepts, all through the thrilling lens of motorsport.

Throughout the course, students will:

• Build a Go-Kart: Collaborate to construct a go-kart from the ground up, applying real-world STEM principles in a practical setting.
• Learn STEM Through Motorsport: Explore topics such as forces, motion, energy, design, materials, and mechanics, with tailored lessons that connect classroom theory to the real-world challenges of kart building.
• Design Custom Stickers: Express creativity and team identity by designing custom graphics and stickers for the team kart.
• Work Towards a CREST Bronze Award: Complete a CREST Award booklet to gain Bronze-level accreditation, recognising project-based STEM achievement.
• Earn Points as a Team: Each lesson and activity completed contributes to the team's overall score, encouraging full participation, collaboration, and accountability.
• Drive and Race: All students will get the chance to drive the kart during testing. However, only four drivers per team will be selected for the final race event—so teamwork, commitment, and contribution will be key to earning a racing spot.

This course is built on the foundation of teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation. To succeed, students must actively participate, support each other, and embrace every aspect of the journey—from concept to checkered flag. 

We would also like to say Thank You to Stallantis for their continued support with this project.

Please note that priority will be given to students who have not completed this enrichment previously.
