Our super-curricular
programme
As well as their academic studies,
students in the Weald Sixth Form
take part in a wide range of super
curricular activities. This often
involves supporting younger
students in their studies and in
other areas such as sporting
activities and organisational skills.
We have a flourishing tutoring
system in the school whereby
many Sixth Form students tutor
younger students in specific
subject areas. The fact that our
students want to make these
wider contributions to the school
community demonstrates the
values that have been built up
in our school and Sixth Form
community. The skills developed
through this super curricular
programme have been invaluable
to many students as they have
moved into Higher Education or
training.

The super-curricular
programme has allowed
me to give back to my school
community whilst also expanding
my own skills. As a result of being
a History mentor I have become
more patient, finding it incredibly
rewarding to see students improve
over time. Watching them develop
more confidence in themselves as
I find confidence in myself too is
incredibly rewarding.
I had a great time working at
the local primary school for
my super-curricular. It was a very
rewarding experience working
with young children one on one
and seeing them understand new
concepts with my help, as well
as help mentor them with any of
their problems.

The super-curricular
programme has been
very beneficial for me as it has
greatly improved my mentoring
and communication skills. Not
only this, seeing the success and
progress of the students that I
had helped and taught was very
rewarding.”
I found the super-curricular
programme very helpful
in advancing my skills such
as communication, whilst also
helping my understanding of
mentoring and understanding of
the subject
