GCSEs
In the equivalent of Year 10 students begin their GCSE courses, which they complete at the end of Year 11. Some students may begin their GCSE courses a year earlier and take some of their exams in Year 10.
​
We offer 11 different GCSE courses, with pupils, in consultation with parents and the school, deciding how many and how soon GCSEs are taken. The school is a registered exam centre.

Our GCSE Results
​
Since we started offering GCSEs eleven years ago our school has had an outstanding record, with pupils achieving an average of 7 high grade GCSEs with an overall 85% A* to C pass rate. We believe this is down to a number of factors. The excellence of our teaching staff; the thorough exploration of topics through pupil involvement in the learning process; the high level of care and respect given to our pupils; and the relaxed, stress free, small-scale environment.
Although our classes are well equipped, as a small school we have comparatively less facilities than a larger school, but nevertheless results are excellent in all subject areas. For example our average grade in the separate sciences is A, with one pupil achieving 98%, despite the absence of a dedicated science laboratory.
