Academic Enrichment - 'Inspire'

At King’s we want all students to grow as independent thinkers who relish new challenges and have wide horizons for their learning. It is our aim to encourage every student to be confident about producing creative scholarship that reflects her own unique interests and questions about the world.

Within the classroom, teachers at King’s seek to provide high-level teaching and learning that inspires all students, including the gifted and talented. Thought-provoking extension work, open-ended questions that stimulate link-making and critical ideas and creative problem solving, are all part of the teaching toolkit at King’s.

Inspire Academic Enrichment Programme

As we start a new academic year, we are excited to introduce you to this term’s Inspire Programme. The aims of this programme continue to reflect its core purpose of inspiring creativity, curiosity and independence in our students through a range of enriching opportunities beyond the curriculum. There is something for all students to get involved with and be inspired by this term, ranging from building rockets to deciphering GCHQ codes in other languages!

We are looking forward to the KS3 Inspire trip to Jodrell Bank as well as the launch of the first Inspire homework of the academic year (which will be ‘cracking’ fun!). As the new Heads of Academic Enrichment, we are looking forward to continuing and furthering the Inspire programme at King’s High. We very much hope that students will make the most of such a wonderful array of opportunities and find joy in the exploration of new interests and ideas.
