Additional Curriculum Activities
At Brook Sixth Form and Academy, learning goes beyond the classroom. Students take part in a wide range of extracurricular and supercurricular activities that support personal development, academic progress, and preparation for future pathways.
These opportunities help students build confidence, develop leadership skills, and gain experience that supports university, apprenticeships, and employment.
Industry and University Engagement
Students benefit from regular engagement with universities, employers, and external organisations. Guest speakers, workshops, and careers events give students insight into professional environments and help them understand future pathways.
These experiences allow students to ask questions, explore opportunities, and develop a clearer understanding of the skills needed for different careers.
STEM and Technical Enrichment
Students studying science, engineering, and technical subjects take part in projects and challenges that encourage innovation and problem solving. These activities allow students to apply classroom knowledge to practical scenarios while working collaboratively in teams.
Through these experiences, students develop analytical thinking, technical understanding, and confidence when approaching complex tasks.
Career Preparation and Progression
Preparing students for life after sixth form is an important part of the Brook experience. Students receive guidance and support as they plan their next steps.
- Careers events with universities and employers
- Application guidance for university and apprenticeships
- Workshops focused on interviews, presentations, and communication skills
These activities help students make informed decisions about their future pathways.
Leadership and Personal Development
Students have opportunities to take part in programmes that develop leadership, teamwork, and communication. These experiences encourage initiative and help students build confidence when presenting ideas and working collaboratively.
Many activities involve group challenges, presentations, and ambassador roles that allow students to represent the academy.
Sport and Wellbeing
Sport and enrichment activities play an important role in student wellbeing. Students have opportunities to take part in fixtures, competitions, and recreational activities that promote teamwork and positive engagement.
These experiences help build resilience, discipline, and a strong sense of community.
Academic Enrichment
