What are GCSEs?

General Certificate of Secondary Education GCSEs are a system of examinations with a single scale of grades from A*-G. The examinations not only test your memory and ability to present facts, they also test your understanding, practical skills and ability to apply your knowledge.

Doing your very best over the next two years has become more important than ever, as the work you do during Year 10 and Year 11 counts towards your GCSE grades. In most subjects, you will be expected to sit Controlled Assessments and modules which count towards your FINAL grade.
