Enrichment

Rabia never loses focus on religious education, whilst maintaining academic excellence. Our pupils gain personally and socially from a rich and rounded learning experience. Our extra-curricular activities support all pupils to build upon the skills and characteristics that will endow them with a concrete foundation for all aspects of their lives; as future community leaders, professionals and business entrepreneurs.

Our enrichment agenda assists our students to develop into rounded individuals and augments key personal skills and talent, which are much sought-after by employers. These include oral communication, personal efficacy, entrepreneurship, self-actualisation, problem-solving and emotional wellbeing.
