Most schools run an enrichment programme but Hurtwood House is not like most schools! Our alternative and we believe better approach is called Enigma.
On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons Enigma is here to enhance your day to day world of curriculum, to offer you experiential learning through a wide variety of diverse courses and to provide interesting and challenging alternatives to your academic studies, ranging from recreation and lifestyle to fitness and creative and performing arts.
Enigma is also here to consolidate, broaden and enhance your personal, social, health and economic education (PSHEE) in a way you probably wouldn’t get anywhere else through our team of Friday Speakers and our Lifeskills Programme.
Our visiting speakers don’t talk about things in the abstract; they have been there, seen it and done it and their first hand experiences cover everything from drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling and living with HIV/AIDS through to climbing Mount Everest, walking unsupported to the South Pole, cycling around the globe and storming the Iranian Embassy as a member of the SAS.
The Lifeskills Programme is here to equip you with the skills you will need to deal with real life as an individual: interview technique, interpersonal skills, communication and leadership, emergency aid and road safety are all featured here.
Enigma is here for you and you will only get out of it what you put in. So, it’s time for you to think beyond your immediate concerns, look to the future and start preparing for it. Do this and you are sure to find Enigma an enjoyable, rewarding and stimulating experience!
