To complement students’ academic study, we design our enhancement curriculum to provide a wealth of opportunities to develop students' personal growth and understanding of their wider world and future lives. QEHS provides a wealth of support, guidance and engagement opportunities that enrich our students’ educational experience and support their learning. To extend students’ experiences still further, QEHS provides a programme of trips, visits, events, and qualifications.
In addition, QEHS provides a wealth of sporting, performance, social and academic opportunities to engage students at local, county, regional and national levels. This offer complements the wide range of extended learning opportunities including access to a variety of online learning programmes, accessible subject resources, small group booster sessions and academic Study Support Subject Drop-in sessions.
