At St. Anselm’s College, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. Our enrichment programme offers all pupils the chance to develop new skills, broaden their horizons, and discover new interests. We are proud to offer a wide range of activities to help every student grow academically, socially, and personally.
What is Enrichment?
Enrichment activities are opportunities outside of regular lessons that allow pupils to:
Explore new interests and talents
Build confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills
Experience the wider world through trips, guest speakers, and community work
