Dear Parent/Guardian
I do hope that you have had a great summer break with family and are now ready for another successful and engaging year. I have great pleasure in informing you that our enrichment opportunities are now up and running, offering a fantastic variety for our learners. Prestatyn High School’s after-school enrichment timetable complements the successful lessons delivered during the school day and takes place between 3pm and 4pm. The enrichment opportunities provide students with additional learning, new social opportunities, and they help to develop new skills and interests. Enrichment is a fantastic way to increase enjoyment of school life and create an inclusive community spirit within the school, whilst also increasing skills and building character. Taking part in these sessions not only helps the students build confidence, but it also helps them feel part of a group where they can develop communication skills and team working skills.
The sessions and classes on offer are for all year groups, and these encompass the core areas of additional learning, group sessions and sports. The enrichment sessions are decided by the students, and a dedicated member of staff, along with senior members of the school, oversee the sessions on offer. The sessions this term include Art Club, Computer & Board Games Club, STEM Racing and Lego, along with many more. The PE Department will be offering a choice of traditional sports such as Netball and Football this term along with Clip n’ Climb. Each of these activities are managed by members of the PE Department or one of the tutors from LLS. Engaging in any form of physical activity is good for well-being.
I have attached a copy of the timetable for you to see what we have on offer this term. All sessions are colour coded, with pins for which year group can attend, as shown on the key at the bottom of the page.
All of the enrichment sessions will be on our computer systems and will be registered just as they would be in a normal lesson. If your child gets a school bus home, and wishes to attend an enrichment session, they can book the school minibus via the school reception office. They will need to let the reception team know the date, time, home destination and enrichment activity. The school minibus needs to be booked in advance to ensure we have space. The latest time to book on the bus is by first break on the day of travel.
I do hope your child takes up this fantastic opportunity, and I look forward to welcoming them to the sessions.
Yours sincerely
Neil Foley - B.Sc. MA. - Pennaeth Headteacher
