In order to ensure that students have opportunities beyond the traditional curriculum and understand the impact that this has on their progression, wellbeing and character development we launched our new Super Curriculum model at the start of the 2021/2022 academic year.
The Super Curriculum – Tutorial
Students in Year 12 and 13 have 2 tutorial periods per week and during these sessions, they have input on the topics outlined below. To complement this, there is also a digital element that is shared with students via Microsoft Teams, further developing on the digital skills developed through lockdown / isolation periods.
