IGCSE · Years 10–11 · Ages 14–16

The first public examination

The point where the map is tested against real terrain. The results are not the whole story, but they are a story that universities and employers will read.

What It Does

A globally recognised benchmark

IGCSE is a two-year programme culminating in externally marked examinations. Students typically take a spread of subjects — core ones like English, Mathematics, and Science, plus electives.

The qualification is recognised by universities and employers worldwide; over 7,000 schools in 147 countries offer it. It is not just a school-leaving certificate — it is a globally readable signal of what a student knows and can do.

Subjects and structure

  • Core: English, Mathematics, Science
  • Electives: History, Geography, Languages, Arts, Computing
  • Typically 5–9 subjects depending on pathway
  • Two-year programme, examined at the end
  • Externally marked by Cambridge or Edexcel
What to Expect From Us

The structure behind the exam

Live lessons

Explicitly examination-focused: past-paper walkthroughs, timed practice, and feedback on technique as much as content.

Access to materials

Full past-paper archives, mark schemes, and recorded revision sessions. Every subject, every paper, in one place.

Internal mock exams

Before the real ones, so that the actual examination is not the first time your child has sat under timed conditions.

On predicted grades

We communicate predicted grades clearly, and we show you what they are based on. You should never be surprised by a result. If a predicted grade shifts, you will know why before the report arrives.

What a Parent Can Expect

Clarity, not guesswork

Four things we commit to during the IGCSE years.

Examination technique is taught, not assumed

Reading the question, planning the answer, managing time, and understanding mark schemes are all part of the lessons — not left to chance.

Materials match the exam board

If your child sits Cambridge, the materials are Cambridge. If Edexcel, they are Edexcel. We do not mix boards, and we do not substitute.

Communication is proactive

If something changes — a grade drops, a mock goes badly, a subject needs adjustment — you hear it from us first, not from the final result.

Timelines are explicit

Registration deadlines, exam dates, coursework submissions — all shared in advance, in writing, at the start of the year.
