GCSEs

What are GCSEs?
GCSEs are the main examinations taken by UK students to complete the first stage of secondary or high school education.
Once you have completed your GCSE programmes, you’ll be ideally placed to progress to A Level, Foundation or equivalent.

What do GCSEs consist of?
Depending on which subjects you choose, you’ll receive lessons taught in the classroom or laboratory.

In some cases you’ll also take part in educational field trips.

You’ll be expected to complete homework and independent or group research projects. To ensure that you make progress, regular testing is also a feature of most GCSE programmes.
