What enrichment activities can

I get involved with?

We offer an array of enrichment opportunities covering a wide range of interests. There are opportunities to help raise money for the school’s chosen charities, sharpen your debating skills with the Model United Nations, experiment at the science clubs, grow your own veg with the gardening club or scale new heights over at the climbing club, to name a few!

A priority timetable for Drama, Music and Sports will start up quickly, giving you chance to get stuck in right away. The enrichment options are launched at SocFest which happens in the second week at school. This is a fun event that takes place in the Senior Hall and is an opportunity for you to find out more about each of the different enrichment options from members of staff.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for then we encourage students to set up their own activity club - these are often very successful. Past examples have included a ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Card Game Club and Lego Club. If you are interested in setting up a club, or activity, then speak to your form tutor or Mrs Hackett who is the Director of Enrichment and Outreach at the school.

Who do I talk to if I have a problem?

The Grange is a friendly school. If you get lost or need help, do ask anyone - a student or a teacher - and they should be able to help you. Whilst we want you to be happy at school, there are times when things might not go according to plan. If this happens, it is important that you talk to someone:

• Your Form Tutor - they should be your first port of call as they will be best placed to guide you through what to do, or what happens next.

• Mr Cusick, your Head of Year.

• Peer support - this is a group of trained, older students who will be able to offer advice.

• Pupil support - this is an area where you can get specific advice.

• Mrs Eaton (Deputy Head) or any member of the leadership team.
