Academic Enrichment

Our enrichment programme takes pupils out of the classroom and into the institutions, museums and arenas where their subjects come alive.

At Michaela, we always say students need to develop:

Passion for the subject

Knowledge of the subject

Engagement with the subject

We regularly host speakers from the world of politics, liberal arts, finance, law, medicine and academia.

This is where students can learn from people at the top of their fields.

Recent speakers include Jeremy Hunt MP, former Chancellor of the Exchequer; Dr Donald Ward, biologist at the University of Manchester; and Will Stratton-Morris, former CEO of Caffè Nero.

Every subject takes its pupils out into the world. Here are some of our trips for each of the different subjects we offer:
