At Carshalton High School for Girls Sixth Form, we believe education should be inspiring, challenging, and personal. Our Super-Curricular Programme is designed to extend learning beyond the classroom, helping every student — whether on an academic or vocational pathway — to explore their interests, develop new skills, and prepare confidently for the next stage of their journey.

What is the Super-Curricular Programme?

The Super-Curricular Programme goes beyond the taught curriculum to enrich and deepen students’ understanding of their subjects. It connects learning to real-world experiences, fosters intellectual curiosity, and encourages independent thought — qualities that are vital for success in higher education, apprenticeships, and future careers.

Opportunities and Experiences

Students can take part in a wide range of activities tailored to both academic and vocational pathways, including:

• Academic Enrichment – university-style seminars, research projects, essay competitions, and reading challenges for students who want to explore their subjects in greater depth.
• Vocational and Career Pathways – workshops with employers, workplace visits, industry-linked projects, and skill development opportunities that prepare students for professional success.
• Specialist Pathways – bespoke programmes for aspiring medics, lawyers, engineers, creatives, and entrepreneurs, with mentoring, work experience, and application support.
• Independent Learning Projects – such as the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), or applied research linked to vocational studies, allowing students to explore topics that inspire them.
• Cultural and Community Engagement – enrichment trips, volunteering, and events that encourage social awareness, leadership, and personal growth.

Why It Matters

Through the Super-Curricular Programme, CHSG Sixth Form students:

• Build confidence, independence, and a love of lifelong learning.
