The school is committed to providing a relevant education for its pupils and preparing them for a world of independence as good citizens. It values the role of the arts, in particular in encouraging motivation and personal development across the curriculum and all areas of learning.
The school encourages and is committed to working alongside the community and partner schools and agencies in providing quality experiences and opportunities for all its pupils to support achievement.
At Thomasson we pride ourselves in being an inclusive school which ensures that all of its pupils receive an equal opportunity to achieve their very best. The school respects differences and celebrates diversity in all its forms. It gives children and young people a voice and encourages the active participation in the education process. It values the staff who work here and recognises the important role that parents/carers, governors and the wider community have to play in supporting the pupils and the school itself.
The curriculum is designed to give a balanced and broad based education that ensures all students achieve their potential. The curriculum is differentiated to meet the needs of all pupils and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
At Key Stage 3 all National Curriculum subjects are taught. Pupils are also taught British Sign Language and Deaf Studies.
At Key Stage 4 all pupils are taught Maths, English and Science at either GCSE or Entry Level. Students then choose ‘option’ subjects, including the Arts, Humanities, Design and Technology, Animal Care, Health and Social Care, Hospitality and Catering to study at GCSE, BTEC OR Entry Level.
Our curriculum is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure the needs of each cohort are met.
