Sixth Form Enrichment - Can You Help?

We would love to hear from any parents or Old Princethorpians who could offer practical help in running an Enrichment class for the Lower Sixth during the Lent Term or Trinity Terms 2018. 

Anything from Public Speaking to a Running Group, Creative Design Courses to Pub Quizzes, in fact any skill or activity that might interest, inform or stretch the minds of young people!

If you have a hobby or a skill which you would like to share with a small group of Sixth Formers each Friday afternoon from 14:55 - 15:45, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

The Lent Term sessions begin on Friday 12 January and run until Friday 16 March 2018.  There would be nine weekly sessions in total (subject to course take up) with six in the first half term and three in the second half term. The Trinity Term sessions begin on 20 April and run until 29 June 2018 with five sessions in the first half term and three in the second half term.

Please contact Becky Underhill, Sixth Form Administrator with any ideas or offers at: beckyunderhill@princethorpe.co.uk

Co-Curricular Activities - Reminder

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you, particularly those new to Princethorpe College, about the wide variety of Co-curricular activities and clubs that are on offer during lunch time and after school.  Not only is it a good way to try new activities but it is also a great way to make new friends.

A list of all the Co-curricular activites can be found at the front of the Michaelmas 2017 Termly Calendar which you will have received by post during the summer.  Alternatively, click here to view an electronic version which can also be found on the Princethorpe College website in the section titled 'Outside Class'.

All sport and music Co-curricular activities will start on Monday 4 September, all other activities and clubs will start on Monday 11 September.

I hope that you have all had a great break over the summer and look forward to seeing you back and welcoming our new pupils on Monday 4 September.
