GCSEs

[edit]

GCSEs are the final examinations students take at the school. Being a technology college, students take a design and technology subject. The choice is food technology, resistant materials, textiles, or graphic design. There are a variety of other subjects that can be taken. Students must take English, mathematics, science and a short course in religious education. Students must attend physical education lessons, but will only be examined if they choose to study it at GCSE level. Students may choose to continue studying a modern language.

GCSE results have improved at the school. In 2004, only 40% of students gained 5 or more GCSE grades A*-C. In 2012, 89% of students achieved 5 or more A*-C grades, with 65% achieving 5 A*-C grades including English and Maths.[4]
