Sixth Form Enrichment Day, Tuesday 24th February 2026
Students at the Sixth Form enjoyed a dynamic and engaging Enrichment Day this week, taking part in a wide range of activities designed to build confidence, skills and teamwork.
The day featured practical mock interviews, giving students valuable experience in preparing for university, apprenticeships and employment. Volunteers from the local community provided constructive feedback, helping students refine their communication techniques and professional presentation.
First aid training sessions proved especially popular, with students learning vital life-saving skills and gaining greater awareness of how to respond in emergency situations. Meanwhile, others embraced the lighter side of the programme, trying their hand at carpet bowls and stepping into energetic line dancing workshops that had the hall buzzing with enthusiasm.
Additional activities throughout the day encouraged collaboration, resilience and creativity, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy and learn from.
The day finished on a reflective positive for all, with a truly inspirational talk from Mike Keen.
Mike Keen "Amongst other labels, Mike is a chef, kayaker, traveler and adventurer - passionate about eating your environment and changing the way we eat to a more sustainable and less crazy system. A regular speaker and chef at Food Festivals he is based in Suffolk, England where he has built (and is continually developing) a sustainable homestead with his partner Lucy which they use as a base for workshops, talks, demos and pop-up events. When he's not there he's often to be found in the arctic (or other cold places) researching food and kayaking."
Keen is best known for his immersive expedition living alongside Inuit communities in the Arctic. Driven by a passion for traditional skills and extreme environments, Keen travelled to the Arctic to experience life as the Inuit have lived for generations. During his time there, he adopted many traditional practices — including travelling by kayak, hunting, fishing and surviving in harsh polar conditions. The experience required resilience, adaptability and a deep respect for indigenous knowledge and culture.
