GCSEs
Students can study a range of subjects and also deepen their understanding in the core areas of English, Maths and Science.
Although not a natural time to change schools, students join us for several reasons:
- Their current school is too impersonal and class sizes are too large
- They do not feel they are realizing their potential at their current school
- They have just moved into the Manchester area
Our learning programmes mean that students can join us throughout the academic year, not just in September. There are many examples of students starting with us between October and January, and even later, and achieving very successful GCSE results.
Our small classes provide excellent support and place great emphasis on study skills and gaining independence in a nurturing environment. In Year 10, tutors focus on preparing the ground for Year 11, when learning is directed towards examination skills and consolidation of knowledge.
Pastoral care is especially important for these younger students, and we take their welfare very seriously.
We have a relaxed atmosphere that is markedly different from other schools, but it provides a clear structure for students to grow into confident, independent, responsible adults.
We are sensitive to individual needs, and are very successful in achieving both academic excellence and personal development in our students.
We offer 16 subjects at GCSE level.
