Life outside of the classroom at Hurtwood is just as diverse, colourful and exciting as life within. The range of opportunities on offer is vast and designed so that every member of our community can find something extra to do whilst they are here, no matter where their interests may lie.
What is The Enigma Programme? Well, put simply, Enigma is what most other schools might call “enrichment” or “additional studies”. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons Enigma enhances your day to day world of curriculum, offers you experiential learning through a wide variety of diverse courses and provides interesting and challenging alternatives to your academic studies, ranging from recreation and lifestyle to fitness and creative and performing arts.
On Friday afternoons, we move our focus towards broadening and enhancing your personal, social, health and economic education through our team of Friday Speakers and 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 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.
Hurtwood provides facilities for almost every aspect of interest that helps strengthen our passions and helps to broaden our horizons.

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 has been created with you in mind and you only get out of it what you put in. Think beyond your immediate concerns, look to the future and prepare for it - we can guarantee that you'll find Enigma an enjoyable, rewarding and stimulating experience!
