Enrichment

Eresby Enrichment & Extra curricular

We believe it is very important to extend learning outside of the classroom and ensure our pupils feel a valued member of the wider community. We also feel that these links will help benefit pupils' individual needs and help them to gain independence.

As the School is a member of the David Ross Education Trust, we now have strong links with the other academies within the trust, in particular the ones also situated in the Lincolnshire area. Our academy status strengthens the opportunities available to all of our pupils by providing us with more links and partnerships. For more information about the trust visit www.dret.co.uk 

We champion community awareness amongst our pupils. All partnerships and links help pupils to strengthen their community and cultural awareness.

Work experience

All students for whom it is appropriate in key stages 4 and 5 can take part in external work experience placements once a year. Students work in the local community supported by a member of staff from school for a week’s placement each year from year 10 -14. This gives them a valuable experience of the world of work and a chance to develop the social skills necessary. We also offer internal work placements giving pupils further opportunities to encounter the world of work. We have a range of partnerships with local business providers that further support our work experience programme.

Students in post 16, run mini enterprise activities which enables the students to develop their life and social skills, whilst also providing further community links. They will carry out market research, create a business plan alongside product design before making and selling their product in the local market place.
