Enrichment
While we place upmost importance on academic success, at PACA we also believe in giving our pupils as many opportunities as possible to develop their character through participating in enriching activities. We support students in developing skills which will help them to become well-rounded individuals and contribute to their community and society.
Our wide-ranging enrichment offer (which includes extra-curricular clubs, trips, events, and leadership opportunities):
-
Exposes pupils to a wide range of experiences
-
Provides pupils with extended opportunities to pursue interests and passions
-
Complements our academic process through developing well rounded individuals
-
Provides pupils with opportunities not readily available to them in the community
-
Enables pupils to explore new interests
-

-
Enables students to develop new skills such as communication and team-work
Wednesday Week 2 P5 is Enrichment.

Duke of Edinburgh Award
The Duke of Edinburgh Award at PACA has become an important part of what we offer. It is an opportunity for students to push themselves, to take part in activities new and existing, and to demonstrate our key Aldridge Attributes: Determination, Passion, Resilience, Teamwork, Problem Solving, Creativity, Risk-taking, and Global Citizenship.
We offer the Bronze Award in Year 9, and the Silver to eligible participants in Year 10.
See our Duke of Edinburgh page for more information
The camping trip was fun and action packed! It gave me lots of experiences that I’d never had before.- Year 7 PACA student
PACA 100
Students and staff at PACA worked together to create a list of 100 things all PACA students to do before they finish their GCSEs in year 11. Through our tutor time Expert Learner programme, students will be encouraged to complete and evidence as many of the PACA100 as they can!
