At OIC Brighton, we offer two GCSE programmes for secondary school students: an intensive one-year GCSE course and a traditional two-year option. Whichever route you follow, specialist teachers will unlock your potential by providing the academic inspiration, mentoring, and level of challenge you need to achieve outstanding grades. You’ll also pursue potential university and career pathways through our Super Curricular programme.
Students in Years 10 and 11 study for their GCSEs, following either a one- or two-year programme. GCSEs are the world’s most popular qualification for 14 to 16-year-olds, and are taught in almost 4,000 schools worldwide.
Studying here, you’ll follow a tailored programme based around your academic strengths and interests, as well as your aspirations for the future. Combining the highest standards of subject teaching with one-to-one mentoring and regular progress testing, our GCSE courses are engaging, challenging, and designed to help you achieve fantastic results.
On our intensive one-year GCSE course, learners choose up to eight subjects, which are delivered by specialists in small, focused classes. Alongside Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, you’ll select three additional options that align with your passions and long-term goals. These options are;
You’ll also sit weekly Strategic Cumulative Informative Tests (SCITS), which will give your teachers a snapshot of how you’re progressing, as well as any areas for improvement. Our one-year GCSE students also take mid- and end-of-term assessments.
Students following our traditional two-year programme typically study 10 GCSE subjects. These include Maths (with or without additional Maths), English (both language and literature, or second language), Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. You’ll also pick four options based on your interests, A-level plans, and university ambitions. These options are;
Our Year 10 students sit SCITS every month, while weekly testing takes place in Year 11. This process identifies areas for development and helps us track your progress. It’s also fantastic preparation for your final exams. Our Year 11 students take mid- and end-of-term assessments, too.
Our GCSE students’ academic studies are enriched by our pioneering Super curricular programme. This takes our secondary learners beyond the syllabus, giving them an in-depth insight into various career pathways and nurturing the skills they need to succeed in the future.
Through opportunities like The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, the Young Enterprise Competition, and the Higher Project Qualification, you’ll create a rich portfolio of experiences and qualifications that give you the extra edge when it comes to the highly competitive university applications process.
We’re committed to all-round excellence at OIC Brighton. The holistic education we offer not only delivers the highest academic standards, but also nurtures personal growth and the development of essential future-focused skills.
