Enrichment

The Bluecoat Trent Academy is passionately committed to developing every facet of the young people in our care. We believe that while academic success is of a prime concern, we should pay equal attention to the support and development of our students’ physical, mental and spiritual potential. Our enrichment programme reflects this ethos providing opportunities for all students to explore new interests, challenge themselves and have a lot of fun.

Study Clubs

General homework and study clubs are available every week in order to enhance and support the curriculum. These clubs run at lunchtimes and after school and operate on a drop-in basis. The study clubs are there to help with class work or homework as well as to give support in areas where students may be struggling.

Sport Clubs

There are different sport activities our students can engage in on different days. Studies show that students who attend clubs are likely to progress to higher education and be in employment, as well as higher levels of participation in sports. We want to provide all our students access to at least two hours of PE and sport every week to develop healthy, resilient young people equipped to face the challenges of modern life.

“The school is committed to pupils’ personal development, as well as their academic success. It organises a wide range of opportunities so that pupils can explore existing interests and talents, discover new ones, and take on responsibilities. A large number of pupils participate in these activities, including disadvantaged pupils.”
