--- title: "Enrichment" url: "https://www.lostockhallacademy.org/learning/enrichment" school: "Lostock Hall Academy" --- # Enrichment ### Enrichment At Lostock Hall Academy, we believe that every student should have access to a rich programme of opportunities beyond the classroom. Enrichment plays a vital role in helping young people develop confidence, discover new interests, build meaningful relationships and develop the skills and experiences they need to thrive in school and beyond. Our enrichment programme is designed around the principles of the Department for Education's Enrichment Framework, providing students with opportunities to broaden their horizons, raise aspirations and develop a strong sense of belonging.

These sessions enable students from different year groups to come together around shared interests, develop friendships and strengthen their sense of identity within the school community. Whether participating in sport, music, creative arts, STEM activities or student leadership opportunities, students are encouraged to explore their talents in a welcoming and supportive environment. ### After-School Enrichment Our after-school programme provides students with the opportunity to engage in activities over a longer period of time, allowing them to deepen their knowledge, refine their skills and pursue their interests with greater commitment. A wide range of clubs, teams and societies are offered across the curriculum, including sport, performing arts, visual arts, technology and academic subjects. These experiences challenge students, foster resilience and creativity, and help them to discover future pathways they may wish to pursue. Many of our enrichment opportunities also provide students with chances to develop leadership skills, act as ambassadors for the Academy, participate in competitions and events, and experience educational visits that broaden their understanding of the wider world. **Please see below the timetables for the Autumn Term 2026. Timetables are updated at the start of each full term.** ### Extra Curricular Year 7 Extra Curricular Activities 134 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lostock-hall-academy/files/documents/Extra_Curricular_Activities_-_September_2026_Part1.pdf) Year 8 Extra Curricular Activities 110 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lostock-hall-academy/files/documents/Extra_Curricular_Activities_-_September_2026_Part2.pdf) Year 9 Extra Curricular Activities 110 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lostock-hall-academy/files/documents/Extra_Curricular_Activities_-_September_2026_Part3.pdf) Year 10 Extra Curricular Activities 82 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lostock-hall-academy/files/documents/Extra_Curricular_Activities_-_September_2026_Part4.pdf) Year 11 Extra Curricular Activities 104 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lostock-hall-academy/files/documents/Extra_Curricular_Activities_-_September_2026_Part5.pdf) ### A Broad and Inclusive Enrichment Offer Our enrichment offer reflects the key themes identified within the Department for Education's Enrichment Framework and our commitment to preparing every student for a successful future.
