How does the GCSE and A Level option system operate in the Senior School?
All subjects are compulsory in the first three years (ages 11-13). Thereafter, at GCSE, all pupils take Maths, English Language and English Literature, ICT (eDCC Certification), a Science course (either Dual Award or the three separate sciences), a Modern Foreign Language (French or Spanish or both) and a free selection of creative and humanity subjects. In the Sixth Form, a wide selection of options are available with no timetabling restrictions imposed. Most pupils take four AS levels in the Lower Sixth Form followed by three A2s.
