‘Super-curriculum’ matters: Headmaster’s new article

The value of the ‘super-curriculum’ is addressed by Tonbridge Headmaster James Priory in a new article published this week. Writing for national magazine School House, Mr Priory explains why it can play an important part in students’ academic and personal development. 

He writes: “The super-curriculum enables pupils to develop specialist knowledge in areas that already seize their interest, but it can also inspire curiosity about areas previously unknown and unventured.”

The full article can be read here.
