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

Set in the rolling Suffolk countryside, Finborough School is a co-educational through school for pupils aged 2-18. With day and boarding available, at its year-round nursery through to its sixth form college, the emphasis is on character education. Finborough’s ‘learnability’ philosophy is embedded throughout its broad curriculum and provides the framework for its education. Teaching is dynamic, with every opportunity taken to develop its pupils holistically, preparing them for the very real world that they will enter at the end of their education journey. Excellent, state-of-the-art facilities include a new theatre and sports pitches.
