ENRICHMENT SEPTEMBER 2026
WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ENRICHMENT @ ABBEY COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE At our college, we want to extend and broaden your education by providing you with opportunities to help you develop beyond the classroom. One of these opportunities is Enrichment which takes place for 90 minutes every Wednesday afternoon for all students. You can choose from over 40 different activities. Each activity belongs to one of the six themes below. Active
Creative Arts
Community
Music
Science & Tech
Thinking
Choose carefully. Enrichment activities are designed to be the most beneficial when you commit to your activity choices for the minimum of one term. The 90 minutes of enrichment activities you choose now will continue every Wednesday until the end of term (December 2026). In January 2027, Enrichment continues for all students, but you will be given the opportunity to tell us if you would like to change your activity to something different. In April 2027, Enrichment is longer be compulsory for GCSE Yr 11 or Yr 13 students, although you are still welcome. Enrichment remains compulsory for Yr 9, Yr 10, Pre-Sessional and Y12 students. Once again, you will be given the opportunity to tell us if you would like to change your activity to something different.
