Enrichment

At Wetherby Senior we recognise that important personal development takes place beyond the classroom and the standard curriculum. We not only have philosophy embedded in the curriculum from Years 7-11 to develop pupils’ critical and independent thinking but also have a wide range of clubs and societies. In fact, the school prides itself on offering over 70 activities.

• DJ club
• Classical Greek
• Barometer (Student led school magazine)
• Creative writing
• Model United Nations
• Physics Olympiad
• Young Enterprise
• School Drama Productions
• Astronomy Club
• Chess Club
• Strategy Games
• Barbells Club

In the Sixth Form there are societies focused on progression opportunities e.g. Future Medics Society and in addition to the A Level Lecture programme there are the A Level enrichment lectures delivered by academic staff on topics such as the philosophy of science, the literary ‘canon’ and The American New Deal.

By helping our boys to develop self-awareness and self-challenge, we inspire them to be the very best they can be in all aspects of their academic and cultural life at the School.

Each of our departments run a variety of optional academic and co-curricular trips for the boys. In addition, the PSHE programme and many subjects invite guest speakers to give talks and presentations on a wide variety of subjects.
