Welcome to the Rushcliffe Super Curriculum
What is the Super Curriculum?
Super curricular activities are those that take your regular curriculum further. They take the subject you study in the classroom beyond that which your teacher has taught you or what you’ve done for homework. On this webpage and on our downloadable app, there are a range of activities, suggested by teachers for you to stretch yourself and explore your subjects. You will find our app available to download for iOs and Android. You can download for Apple devices here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1560629360 You can download for Android devices here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AppInstitute.u70c2
The importance of super-curricular activities
- To do well at A Level, it is important to have a) enthusiasm and curiosity for your subject and b) the capacity for independent study.
Super-curricular activities can help you:
- Choose a subject to study.
- Provide evidence on a personal statement or for an interview.
- Develop important skills.
The Super-curricular Hour
By just adding in an hour a week of super curricular activities, you could be enhancing your grades and opening more opportunities for your future simply by broadening your understanding of a particular subject area. The chart above gives you an example of how you might wish to break down that hour of Super Curricular.
