The Enrichment Programme at King's Leadership Academy Liverpool is designed to broaden students’ horizons and provide them with opportunities that extend beyond the traditional academic curriculum. We are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their background, have access to enriching experiences that develop their cultural capital, life skills, and personal growth.
This programme offers a wide range of activities that encourage students to explore new interests, learn practical skills, and build confidence. Each student participates in an enrichment session every fortnight, with activities rotating every term to ensure exposure to a diverse set of experiences.

Once their project is complete, they’ll have the exciting opportunity to race their go-kart against teams from other schools across England, putting their hard work and innovation to the test in a competitive environment. This experience offers a unique blend of creativity, technical knowledge, and thrilling competition.
We also offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities.
Future Careers
Enrolling in enrichment activities can open doors to a wide range of career opportunities by helping students develop essential skills and experiences that go beyond academic qualifications. Through enrichment, students build valuable soft skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving, all of which are highly sought after by employers.
For example, participating in activities like Go-Kart Building introduces students to engineering, mechanics, and project management, sparking interest in careers in STEM fields. Creative clubs like Drama, Creative Writing, or Documentary Making can inspire students to pursue careers in the arts, media, or communication. Meanwhile, language and cultural activities like Korean or British Sign Language (BSL) can offer insight into global career paths and roles in education, translation, or social services.
Moreover, these activities provide a platform for students to network with specialists and mentors, opening doors to internships, apprenticeships, and work experience opportunities. Through these enrichment experiences, students gain a well-rounded skill set, boost their confidence, and make themselves stand out in future applications for both further education and employment.
