Enrichment at Bellerbys
Bellerbys understands that a good education is about more than what happens inside the classroom. Our structured enrichment programmes are designed to add extra value to university applications, as well as getting a more in depth look at the subjects you love. By participating in our enrichment activities, students develop the key skills that impress employers and universities. Enrichment allows students to improve their teamwork, leadership and critical thinking skills.
Our enrichment programmes are designed to cover a wide range of subjects and involve classes, lectures, trips and competitions.
