Subjects offered
Bilingual Junior School:
Years 6-8
Religion, Art, English, French, Latin, Geography, History, Mathematics, Music, Science.
All subjects except History/Geography and French are taught in English.
Boys receive intensive French tuition with the aim of achieving
‘survival level’ before Christmas and basic fluency by the end of their
first year.
Boys from Years 7 and 8 participate in the UK Maths Challenge for Year
8 level. They may also be entered for various Associated Board
examinations for instrumental and vocal music.
Boys who join the Junior Section from September 2007 will have the
privilege of a completely bilingual education, leading to the award of
British GCSEs and the French National Brevet. There is no expectation
that boys will speak French on arrival: the College will provide the
necessary intensive tuition.
Senior School:
Years 9-11 (British curriculum only)
Religion, Art, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English Language, English Literature, French, Latin, History, Mathematics.
Options: Music, Spanish, German.
Note: Capable students sit their Mathematics I.G.S.C.E. early, leading
on to the Additional Mathematics exam in year 11. Early entry for
examinations is common in other subjects too, particularly languages.
The College is able to adapt its timetabling to suit particularly
bright students who need the challenge of public examinations in Years
9 or 10.
Available online: Last year’s results for IGCSE, GCSE and GCE examinations.
VIth Form:
Years 12-13
At G.C.E. A-level, students will study 3, 4 or 5 subjects and will be
expected to attend Religion and General Culture classes. The A-level
subjects are subject to demand and availability. Currently, all
subjects taught at GCSE are also available at A-level. In addition,
Philosophy A-level (for the AQA examination) is taken by most students
and the class is also open to those who do not intend to sit the
examination. It is likely that the choice of A-level subjects might
expand further in the future.
We are expecting to offer the following subjects at AS and A-level for those entering Sixth Form in September 2007:
Philosophy, English Literature, English Language, French, Spanish, German, History, Latin, Biology, Physics
