Enrichment and Wider Opportunities
Enrichment is a core part of Sixth Form life at Pimlico Academy.
Each Wednesday, students take part in dedicated enrichment sessions where they hear from a wide range of external speakers, including professionals from law, science, and the arts. These sessions broaden horizons and provide valuable insight into different career pathways.
In weekly form time, students:
- Explore career pathways
- Complete wider reading
- Maintain and update their personal opportunities log
Students with a GCSE Average Point Score of 7 or above take part in The Scholars Programme and our Early Entry Programme in Year 12. Through weekly sessions, these students are supported to raise their aspirations and prepare for competitive university applications.
Leadership, Mentoring and Student Life
Sixth Form students play a vital role in the wider school community.
They are trained as mentors and support younger students through:
- Reading support for those with lower reading ages
- Active participation in student parliament, including leadership of lower school representatives
Students are also encouraged to lead and develop their own initiatives, including clubs and societies such as:
- Baking club (linked to Duke of Edinburgh)
- Charity bake sales
- Sports clubs, including football
In addition, students take part in a wide range of subject trips and university visits, helping them to engage with their learning beyond the classroom and build confidence in new environments.
