Enrichment
At Beacon Hill Academy, we place a strong emphasis on the importance of spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. To be able to give our learners the broadest range of knowledge possible, we hold 5 ‘Drop Down Days’ per year where they undergo an entire day off timetable to develop their understanding of matters in the world around them which could very possibly even affect them.
Previous ‘Drop Down’ sessions have focused on topics such as the below, with many more being added each year:
