What is this?

Facilitating A levels are ones that are commonly needed for entry to leading universities. They are: biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, further mathematics, geography, history, English literature and classical or modern languages. The % of pupils achieving AAB or higher may therefore decrease if many pupils have opted not to take two or more of the facilitating subjects mentioned.

What the school says

We are Akeley Wood: a bold, contemporary and creative school with a rich heritage, celebrating independence and nurturing well-rounded and compassionate young people with a lifelong love of learning. We strive for high academic standards, and the results achieved in public examinations are impressive. However, we are also concerned with education in its broader sense, and Art, Music, Drama and Sport are all important to us. In short, we play to the strengths of each individual pupil, to maximise their full potential.

SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

The special educational needs provision is centred on a sound and caring environment in which every child is encouraged to achieve their best. Early assessment ensures that the need for support can be quickly established. This takes the form of extra dyslexia tuition for younger children and study support through GCSE and A level years by highly qualified, dedicated specialist teachers. Study support plays a central role in the standard of academic achievement in the school and can provide a secure base, where pupils can receive guidance and help to enable them to function to the best of their ability in the classroom and in public examinations.
