Enrichment Opportunities

At the John Warner Sixth Form we feel that it is important for our students to develop as all round adults both within and outside of the classroom. To support students’ academic qualifications, all Sixth Formers have the opportunity to partake in a range of enrichment courses alongside their main Level 3 qualifications.

These opportunities include:

• The EPQ which is an independent project aimed at those students who want to explore a particular area of interest. The EPQ is highly regarded by universities and so is highly recommended to those students who have aspirations of attending high tariff universities.  
• For those students who are required to re-sit their English Language or Mathematics GCSE qualifications, we offer dedicated teaching support to ensure that all of our students leave the Sixth Form with these extremely important qualifications. 
• Paired Reading Partners – Sixth Form volunteers offer weekly morning reading support to Key Stage 3 students, fostering literacy skills and cross-year mentorship.
• Academic Mentors - Share your subject expertise with students in the year below, Think study buddies / Tutoring. 
• In Lesson Support - Spare one hour a week to support a lesson in the lower school in a subject linked to your A. Levels. 
• Year 12 Work Experience – Every July, our Year 12 cohort completes a work experience placement designed to equip them with core workplace skills, strengthening future applications for university or apprenticeships.
• School Council & The Head Team - The perfect opportunity to take on a position of leadership. Being part of a school head team is important because it allows student leaders to amplify the student voice, shape a positive school culture, and actively make a lasting, meaningful impact on the school community.

At The John Warner Sixth Form, learning extends far beyond the classroom. We offer a rich variety of extra-curricular activities and actively encourage all students to play an energetic role in our school community. Students can participate in competitive sports, take to the stage in theatrical productions, or join various musical ensembles. Our highly successful robotics team competes locally, nationally, and internationally, while our Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme gives students the chance to work toward the prestigious Gold Award.

Volunteering and leadership are central to our ethos. Students can give back within school or the local community by sports coaching, mentoring younger peers, or assisting with local events like 'Hoddesdon Loves Christmas' and 'Give Your Town The Run Around.' Additionally, students can step into key leadership roles—such as serving on the School Council, acting as paired readers or peer mentors, or applying for the Student Head Team.

We also offer memorable educational trips, ranging from subject-specific day visits to overseas experiences, including ski trips to Spain and expeditions to Kenya and Cambodia. UCAS discovery days and Trust wide subject opportunities.
