Enrichment & Extra Curricular

Enrichment Programme

At John Masefield, we know how important it is to develop students’ experience of the world, cultural capital, character and sense of adventure. For this reason, John Masefield follow an Enrichment programme that supports and develops their character in line with our expectations of students, which is to ASPIRE to be the best we can be.  In order to empower them to become happy and successful in life, education and employment.

Details of the enrichment programme for the Autumn 2021 Term which begins from 13 September be accessed via the link below.  If your young person would like to take part in any of these exciting opportunities, then please follow the sign-up instructions alongside each specific club and activity.  Some clubs and activities require parents/guardians to sign up via SchoolCloud and a link to the guide to SchoolCloud can be found below.

After school activities and clubs will require students to meet the club coordinator at their enrichment point in the Bus Park, where they will be collected by a staff member and escorted to the location of their club. The enrichment points are at the back of the bus park.

Furthermore, if your child would like to participate in a sports club then they should bring their PE kit to school, where they will have the opportunity to change before their club.

In the event a club or activity is cancelled, a message will be sent to all parents/carers via ParentPay and students will be informed at their earliest convenience. In the event students are unable to make travel arrangements, we ask students to head straight to Student Services where contact with be made with their parent/guardian. If contact is unable to be made, Homework club will host students until they are able to access their transport.

There will be a variety of different activities throughout the spring and summer term as part of the enrichment programme and students will be informed of these new and exciting opportunities later in the year.

Extra Curricular

DofE Bronze is run in Year 9 and open to all students to apply to participate. Information regarding the award goes out to students just after the Christmas holidays to enrol and begin the award by February half term.  Students are then registered as part of DofE and they will attend one DofE session a week run at lunchtimes. During the DofE sessions expedition skills are learned in preparation for the practise and qualifying expeditions. The other service sections (volunteering, physical and skill) are completed in students own time with school support where necessary. Practise expedition will take place at the end of the summer term in Year 9 and the qualifying expedition will be completed in the winter term of Year 10, once all other sections are complete.

There is also an opportunity to complete the Silver award in the Sixth Form.
