IGCSE
IGCSEs - The first step toward the world’s best universities
Year 10 to Year 11 is a key stage where pupils are working towards their IGCSEs (International General Certificate of Secondary Education). Pupils follow the core subjects of mathematics, English, two sciences and a modern language. They also get to choose three other subjects.
Not only is it a time to start thinking about the future and what a pupil’s subject choices may mean for further study, but it is also a time where the pupils themselves encounter many changes, be it emotionally or socially.
What is fundamental in a first class school education?
-
Top quality academic teaching to stretch and extend young people (knowledge and understanding, good depth)
-
Development of the whole person through broad co-curricular activities (sport, music, drama, debating, leadership, volunteering)
-
Extending the depth and understanding of a young person through supra-curricular activities (in-depth reading, projects, academically focused extension activities, competitions, societies)
- High quality university guidance and support - A global approach
How do IGCSEs work?
- 2-year course of study ending in terminal examinations.
- 8 Subjects chosen across the arts and sciences but English and Mathematics are compulsory and English is 2 IGCSEs (Language and Literature).
- Some subjects will also include coursework e.g. Art.
- Normally 3 examinations per subject but some languages will include oral examinations.
- Builds the foundation for more advanced study and specialisation at A level.
