Out of Hours Learning

oohl_header

At Mulberry we believe that opportunities for learning outside of the classroom are vital to students’ attainment, confidence and success. We are proud to offer one of the most extensive Out of Hours Learning programmes in the country.

In addition to helping students develop new and enriching skills, such as First Aid, Debating, Athletics, or the Arts, participation in Out of Hours Learning programmes helps develop a wide-range of personal qualities that are vital to future success.

Participation in Out of Hours Learning Helps students to:

Learn New Skills and Earn Certificates from First Aid, to Duke of Edinburgh, Model UN, to Arabic language, Out of Hours Learning Activities help students learn new and valuable skills they can carry with them throughout their lives. The certificates we offer can strengthen their CVs making them more interesting to colleges and employers.

Out of Hours programmes provide a great arena for students to develop their leadership skills. Through our activities students learn self-confidence, group work skills, commitment and responsibility – all qualities vital to life success. We help students build their leadership skills by offering the following schemes:

Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme,
Envision programme,
Young Leaders Award Sceme
Global Leaders Scheme (coming soon!)
…and a wide range of school mentoring and leadership teams.

Increase Attainment: We offer a wide range of revision and intervention classes to ensure that all students have every opportunity for academic success. But even “non-academic” programmes help students develop the personal qualities – commitment, positive attitude to learning, discipline, and self-esteem – that contribute to academic achievement.
