How to Revise
Super Curriculum
At Towers School we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities. The ‘extra’ refers to an activity being outside of your regular curriculum. This might include doing a sport such as American Football, or enrolling in a First Aid course. Super-curricular activities are those that take your regular curriculum further. They take the subjects that you study in the classroom beyond that which your teacher has taught you or what you have done for homework. For example, you may go into more depth on something you picked up in the classroom, or learn about a new topic altogether.
These activities take a wide variety of forms, including reading, watching videos, independent research, and visiting places of interest. Each student in years 7-11 has been provided with a super-curriculum booklet detailing these activities.
