GCSE

Our GCSE Programme is for students who have completed Year 9 and are intending to progress on to our A Level studies, University Foundation Programme or Medical Foundation Programme. It can be taken over one or two years and helps to provide a solid grounding for later studies.

Teaching takes place in small groups ensuring that all students receive individual attention. Each student is consigned a personal tutor who supervises academic progress and ensures that all aspects of student welfare are looked after.

Students are helped to develop academic skills to ensure a smooth transition into their next programmes, and English language support is also provided to help students achieve the necessary IELTS requirement.

We are very conscious of the challenges for young students in living apart from family and friends, and every effort is made to provide a supportive and friendly environment.
