The Arts Enrichment Timetable - Summer Term 2025

At The Belvedere Academy, we offer a lot more than academic excellence. We offer a wide range of activities to all students from all Year groups. Enrichment helps students to develop their interests and abilities, provides valuable learning experiences outside their studies, and promotes independence and interpersonal links with students in other Years.

Music is vibrant. Students can join the orchestra, string, woodwind and brass chamber ensembles and the choir, giving public performances each term.

There are a wide range of team and individual sports to choose from. Our students compete against local schools and in national tournaments. We offer the Community Sports Leadership Award in Year 12.

The annual Drama Festival is a highlight of the year. Year 12 students produce and direct a play with each class of younger students and the standard is high. There are also opportunities for students to take part in whole school productions, both on stage and behind the scenes.

Students can take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Students support a number of charities including Jeans for Genes and Operation Christmas Child. Fundraising provides an opportunity for students to have fun and work together with other Years.

Clubs and activities take place at lunchtime and after school, incorporating interests such as debating, trampolining, playing chess or making trade fairer. If a particular interest is not covered, we support our students in starting their own clubs.

Students are also given opportunities to visit amazing places as part of Enrichment. Recent trips have included visits to London theatres, Geography and Science field trips to Snowdonia and Malham, and journeys further afield, to Berlin, Krakow, Italy, Zambia and China.

“Exciting", "interesting", "challenging" and "fun" are just a few of the words that have been used to describe the Enrichment programme at The Belvedere Academy.
