Good grades are no longer enough.
The best universities and employers look beyond academic achievement, valuing the super-curricular skills developed outside the classroom.
We educate the whole person, helping students grow into confident, resilient and independent young adults with the qualities to succeed in higher education, their careers and beyond.
Our super-curricular programme sits within our Enrichment offering, and is developed using the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Survey, and specifically the ‘Skills on the rise, 2025–2030’ findings.
Below is a list of typical super-curricular activities we run at Kings Brighton.
For each one, we list the top 10 skills they help develop.
