Super Curricular

Students in Years 12 and 13 are expected to participate in activities that are over and above their subject studies, which relate to the field of study they want to pursue at university or employment they intend to explore after A-Levels.

Teachers will provide students with an extensive list that may cover books to read, podcasts to listen to and trips to exhibitions and plays. This will help to encourage lifelong learning and enable students to stand out in preparation for their next step.

In this academic year, students have been given the opportunity to experience the subjects they are studying outside of the classroom and in the real world.
