International GCSE

When eventually launched, the International GCSE curriculum will involve a three to five-year programme beginning from either Year 7, 8 or 9, and the examination Years 10 and 11. The programme runs from September each year, with final exams in May/June of year 11. Boys may also opt for ‘A levels’ thereafter. The compulsory subjects are English and Mathematics, and a choice of at least 5 optional subjects.

Admission will require boys to meet minimum requirements in English and Mathematics, and satisfactory completion of necessary Stages of the International GCSE Curriculum.
