At The Manor Academy our students develop skills beyond the classroom. Our flourishing enrichment programme provides all students with the opportunity to develop their talents, interests or discover new ones. The enrichment activities on offer help to develop character, resilience, confidence and independence. Additionally, it teaches our students how to keep physically and mentally healthy.

The activities available are extensive, varied and creatively designed to ensure that there is something of interest for all students. We encourage all students to participate in at least one club, however they can participate in as many as they wish.

Academic pursuits such as Science Club and MESME Mathematics provide scope for deepening students’ interest in these subject areas, while encouraging them to reach beyond the curriculum. Technical interests can also be discovered in DT Club where students learn practical skills. Cathartic opportunities are provided in Warhammer Club as well as high energy sporting, theatrical and music clubs. FROG Club and Pride Youth Network provides a safe environment of LGBTQ+ students.

Here at The Manor we believe that enrichment plays a vital role in nurturing our students’ interests and talents. The enrichment activities on offer help to develop character, resilience, confidence and independence. Additionally, it teaches our students how to keep physically and mentally healthy.
