Central Enrichment at The Henley College
At The Henley College, learning isn’t just about your main subjects, it’s about who you become along the way. Our Central Enrichment Programme gives you the chance to explore new interests, develop real-world skills, and get involved in experiences that make your time here truly stand out.
Every student at The Henley College is expected to complete a minimum of 50 hours of enrichment per year, through activities that fit around your timetable and goals. Whether that’s joining a club, playing sport, taking a short course, or exploring something completely new, enrichment is your space to grow, connect, and challenge yourself.
Sewing for sustainability focuses on reducing the amount of garments ending up in landfill when they can be repaired. We teach a range of skills which will elongate the life of a garment and also how to refashion garments to increase their life. We intersperse this will other small seasonal projects such as reusable poppies etc. The sewing is entirely done by hand and no prior experience is necessary.
Creative Writing is an opportunity for anyone who loves to write stories or poetry to practice their skills and techniques.There is a different writing task each week to give students the opportunity to expand their ideas and develop their creative writing skills. We explore different writing techniques and styles and enjoy a lovely, quiet, creative space to let our imaginations run wild!

Archaeology enrichment is for students with an interest in Archaeology, whether they know a little bit, or nothing at all. We explore the many different aspects of the discipline, as well as how to become more involved in your local community and potentially go on to study it. We have a trip to explore a Roman town in the Summer term, to bring what we’ve learnt about over the year to life!
The Law Society gives students the opportunity to explore the legal world beyond the classroom. Sessions include mock trials, debates, and commercial awareness workshops that develop confidence, public speaking, and analytical thinking. It’s ideal for anyone interested in law, criminology, or careers that require critical reasoning and communication skills.
