Enrichment

Sutton Virtual School provides a range of enrichment events for our young people. These events are a great opportunity to build friendships, explore interests and to learn outside of the classroom. Highlights for the coming year include a visit to the Tate Modern, and a one-day cooking class for post-16 young people.
