Staff will provide students with a minimum of 10 scholarly articles for students to read during form time in addition to provide opportunities or resources on a weekly basis. Super curriculum can be created from a series of platforms including but not limited to: - Scholarly articles. - Podcasts. - Documentaries. - Ted talks. - Visits to places, such as museum or battlefield. Super curriculum is essential for university applications and interviews. The admissions teams are looking for the most enthusiastic students with a passion for the course they are applying for. The first part of the evidence for this is the engagement with super curriculum. The EPQ is an excellent way of engaging in super curriculum in a manner which will also support students in getting extra UCAS points. The library holds a range of super curriculum texts and each department will supply a super curriculum reading list to also help students to get started. ### Useful Links The following websites below are a good starting point for students to begin researching their courses in greater depth: - [Isaac Physics](https://isaacphysics.org/) - [Unifrog](https://www.unifrog.org/) - [History](https://www.history.co.uk/) - [BBC \| Sounds \| Podcasts](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/podcasts) - [MASSOLIT](https://massolit.io/) - [Click View Education](https://www.clickvieweducation.com/) ### Sixth Form - [Head of Sixth Form Welcome](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/head-of-sixth-form-welcome/sixth-form/head-of-sixth-form-welcome) - [Curriculum](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/choosing-your-courses) - [Choosing Your Courses](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/choosing-your-courses) - [Prospectus and Course Guide](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/prospectus-course-guide) - [Student Support](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/student-support) - [Study Skills](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/study-skills) - [Super Curriculum](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/super-curriculum) - [UCAS Support](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/curriculum/ucas-support) - [Year 11 Bridging Work](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/head-of-sixth-form-welcome/sixth-form/year-11-bridging-work) - [Personal Development](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/) - [Joining Us](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/joining-us/admissions-and-applications) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy, Hebburn](https://files.schudio.com/stjosephs-hebburn/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy, Hebburn Mill Lane Hebburn South Tyneside Tyne & Wear NE31 2ET 0191 428 2700 ### Our School - [Our Faith](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/our-faith/our-faith) - [School Day](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/about-us/school-day) - [Admission](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/key-information/admissions) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Prospectus](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/key-information/prospectus-2025-26) - [Sixth Form Prospectus](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/sixth-form/joining-us/prospectus) - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms/) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement/) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsca/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/st.josephscatholicacademy/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy, Hebburn School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stjosephs.uk.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
