the aim of Further learning is to help improve pupil confidence and reinforce their knowledge and understanding within subjects. It provides the opportunity for pupils to both challenge themselves in areas they find difficult and pursue areas they are passionate about.

Pupils are encouraged to attempt as many activities as they feel appropriate each week. They may wish to focus in one particular subject area or complete a variety of tasks from throughout the subjects they study. Any completed work should be handed into subject teachers at the start of lessons so they can receive feedback and epraise rewards.
