Elizabeth College

GCSE Curriculum


At GCSE and at AS and A2 Level, we endeavour to tailor each student’s course that he wishes to follow with his abilities and our timetable.

Years 10 and 11: Students follow a two-year GCSE course. Presentations during year 9 inform parents and students about the GCSE Core and Options subjects. Subsequent student choices will be based on careful consultation with parents and teachers. Certain subjects are offered at various examinable levels. Parental and student wishes will be taken into account when determining the level of entry for an examination, but the College reserves the right to make the final decision in the best interests of the student.
