Discovery Days and Enrichment
Our Discovery Days operate every Friday and give students the opportunity to try something new, to further explore an area of study that interests them, and generally find and fuel their passion for learning and discovery, wherever that passion may lie.
The Undershaw Diploma is a fully accredited AQA Qualification and something unique to Undershaw. It offers something different from the traditional curriculum that the students work on at their own pace and offers another opportunity for them to put their Skills Builder skills into practice.

Enrichment Clubs
Enrichment Clubs are run each term and take place at lunchtimes. Our students benefit from a wealth of experience (and good humour) from our talented staff. Clubs often include activities such as baking, IT and programming, creative writing, music, art and drama, among others. The options change regularly to ensure each student is able to find their passion, have fun and try something different.
