IGSCE

Students in Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) follow a two-year (I)GSCE course which encompasses a broad and balanced range of subjects.

Although examinations are usually taken at the end of Year 11, some of our students have taken examinations early, so that they can then take more advanced courses the following year. Examples of this include the majority of our students taking the IGSCE English as a Second Language exam in Year 9, offering them the opportunity to follow the First Language English Course in Years 10 and 11, possibly alongside Literature.

Other examples have included the standard Mathematics paper being taken early, so that a student has the opportunity to sit the Additional Mathematics paper a year later. We have also had a number of students take individual Science subjects early before their double award Science examinations in Year 11.

Assessment is continuous and systematic; this allows for personalised learning which ensures that students make good process towards attaining their potential at (I)GSCE then beyond into the IB Diploma and the university of their choice.
