Cronton Sixth Form College offers a variety of enrichment activities, including sports teams, creative clubs, and intellectual societies. You can join the rugby, football, netball and basketball teams, participate in the Creative Writing Club, Robotics, Debating Society and the College Productions or engage in the Medical and Science Society.
Joining the enrichment clubs at college will help you develop new skills, build confidence, and make new friends.

We host an enrichment fair twice per year to allow students to sign up for sessions.
