IGCSE Science+

Building a Solid Science & Mathematics Foundation with English Language Support

Overview

The IGCSE Science+ Pathway is a specially designed three-year programme tailored for students who demonstrate academic readiness for IGCSEs but require additional support in developing their English language skills. This pathway focuses on building a strong foundation in Science and Mathematics, while also providing opportunities for creative expression, skill development, and integration into the school community.

Overview

Our IGCSE Foundation Programme provides a transformative education. With a strong emphasis on academic excellence, innovative teaching methods and small class sizes of maximum 18 students, our programme ensures our students all enjoy personalised attention and can make meaningful connections with teachers and their peers. Students have access to our unique Future Ready programmes, including The Forum and IGNITE, empowering them to lead, explore their passions and make a positive impact on the world.
