Accredited by Teesside University

Wednesday afternoon is dedicated time off curriculum timetable designed to help students build a range of personal and employability skills, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership, and gain experience and qualifications in a range of areas that will make them stand-out in future job and UCAS applications. And if nothing else, a lot of these options will be a fun and welcome break from A level study, and a good way to make friends and feel a part of the 6th form community.

After completing our induction enrichment programme, 75% of students felt prepared for their A level studies, 76% had grown in confidence in their own skills and abilities, and 81% of students felt part of the 6th form.

Egglescliffe Enrichment Diploma

The Egglescliffe Enrichment Diploma is a certificate accredited by Teesside University that formalises students’ experiences and achievements through the enrichment programme. This will be an invaluable portfolio of evidence that they can use in job or university applications and interviews.
