Enrichment is an important aspect of school life at Chelmer Valley. We ensure that there is a
comprehensive programme of clubs, trips, visits and opportunities to perform for all year groups
as well as planned after school sessions.
Astronomy, World Challenge, Duke of Edinburgh, theatre trips, residential trips, and curriculum
based clubs are just a few of the opportunities on offer. Enrichment evenings promote
engagement for students of all abilities and additional study sessions, access to ICT facilities,
revision classes and homework clubs are also a prominent feature in the student calendar.

At Chelmer Valley High School we focus on a range of projects that enhance the Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics curriculum, with a focus on engaging a wide range of
students. Robot chariots, rocketry, bridge building, chemistry workplace experiences, ‘Girls in
Engineering’ and a range of competitions have all formed part of the STEM programme.
Support is often given by outside help such as company’s supporting various competitions. We
work alongside, Selex ES, Finmeccanica, AECOM, ADS, UKAYRoC, E2V, Battelle, Royal Institution
and ARU. Pupils benefit from working in teams and completing real life challenges
