Enrichment Learning Log<br />
As part of your chosen Enrichment you will need to keep a log of<br />
your progress, achievements and successes. Whether it keeping<br />
your DofE log up-to-date or making note of the work you do with<br />
students in KS3 classrooms as a Sports Leader or Leading Learner<br />
you should keep track of what you do. These will provide great<br />
evidence for personal statements, CVs and interviews.<br />
