Samuel Ward Academy

The Samuel Ward Experience

Sixth Forms in the Unity Schools Partnership offer students a Supra-Curricular programme of activities alongside their chosen academic subjects.

This “Supra” programme aims to go above and beyond specific academic course content, enhancing the curriculum through subject based stretch and challenge, while also enabling our students to be ‘future-ready’, by offering timetabled personal development and enrichment opportunities along with support for post-18 choices.

Supra-Curricular is different to an opt in extra-curricular programme (we still have these clubs and societies), as it combines and timetables different strands of activities and opportunities to offer students life skills and better prepare them for university life, apprenticeships and future employment.
