IGCSE Curriculum

This school uses IGCSE qualifications rather than standard GCSEs. DfE metrics such as Attainment 8 and the basics measure do not count IGCSE grades, so the figures shown below are not a meaningful indicator of academic performance. Please refer to the A-Level results for a comparable measure.
