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.

SEN overview

SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

We, as a school, recognise that there is a broad spectrum of ability and differing educational needs and talents. All students may have additional needs at different times and therefore a wide variety of strategies are used to meet these needs as they arise. We believe that meeting the special educational needs of individual students is not a peripheral or external activity but the responsibility of each teacher and therefore teaching strategies need to be responsive to the needs of individuals. Opportunities for learning within the curriculum are differentiated and targeted towards the area of need for each individual. Reasonable additional support and interventions are provided in order to ensure students make progress. Teachers and Key Workers constantly monitor and review the student’s progress, adapting activities so that the whole curriculum policy is available to all. There are some children whose needs may not be able to be met at Thornton College (see admissions policy).
