Dixons Sixth Form South Manchester

Enrichment

As part of a complete programme of study, students have the opportunity to be involved in a range of enrichment activities. These additional opportunities ensure you are an attractive applicant to universities and employers. There is no limit on the amount of enrichment activities students can become involved in and we pride ourselves in offering a range and depth of additional activities that we believe to be without parallel. 

Most students sign up to partake in one short enrichment activity per week and each year these are chosen from our enrichment brochure.  

We offer enrichment activities that fit into six main categories, which are: 

  • Academic stretch

  • Creative and self-expression 

  • Personal development  

  • Social action and volunteering  

  • Sports, health and fitness  

  • Expeditions and visits  

As we get closer to the opening of Dixons Sixth Form, South Manchester, we will be finalising our enrichment brochure.
