In the classroom they have used the calculators on their mobile phones to work out sale prices with various Black Friday deals, such as 50% off, ½ price, 30% off and 3 for 2 offers. They have then taken this skill out into the community and introduced it alongside their money skills. In Key Skills they work on time, communication and money, each student has a personal target and again they practice this skill out and about in the community for various reasons such as reading bus timetables. ### College Link Key Skills [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_2531.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_2531.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3281.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3281.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3336.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3336.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3347.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3347.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3395.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3395.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3399.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3399.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3400.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/college-link-key-skills/IMG_3400.JPG) [ Expressive Arts Digital Media](https://www.elip.org/blog/2021-11-26-11-26-27-expressive-arts-digital-media) [Enterprise Blog ](https://www.elip.org/blog/2021-11-30-14-50-20-enterprise-blog) ![Tor View School](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/logo/TV_SVT_Logo_website_Footer_Logos.png) **Tor View School** Clod Lane Haslingden Lancashire BB4 6LR Tel: 01706 214640 ### Useful Links - [Educational Excellence](https://torview.org/educational-excellence/welcome) - [The Sea View Trust](http://theseaviewtrust.co.uk/welcome) - [Valley College](https://www.valleycollege.co.uk/) - [Embrace TSH](https://embracetsh.co.uk/) **The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)** Trust Central Team The Sea View Trust Ewood Campus, Clod Lane Rossendale, BB4 6LR © Copyright 2020–2026 Tor View School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.elip.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
