Our Super Curriculum

The notion of a super curriculum is to foster a love of learning and generate aspirations that go beyond the classroom. 

As well as increasing pupils' confidence, thoughtfulness and resilience, we encourage all our pupils to engage in the super curriculum to better equip themselves for life beyond school by deepening their knowledge and developing their love for learning.

Included in this section are a collection of subject pages, which have been designed by the Academic Departments at The Broxbourne School. These include a variety of prompts and ideas to enable you to explore your favourite subjects beyond the confines of the taught syllabus. These pages are by no means exhaustive lists but should offer you a source of inspiration to explore your favourite subjects. These activities  vary in their degree of stretch and challenge and take many forms including wider reading, watching online materials, downloading podcasts, attending University lectures/masterclasses, engaging with Higher Education super-curricular initiatives or visiting museums/places of academic interest.  As well as our own extensive extra curricular clubs and activities, to stretch your interests and imaginations we would encourage you to join a regional or national club or society related to your academic interests, or enter competitions such as THE BROXBOURNE CHALLENGE, essay prizes or Maths Olympiads.
