Key Stage 4

At QK we are aware that for pupils to succeed in their GCSEs it is vital that teachers offer engaging lessons. We have chosen to study our new AQA syllabus as we believe it offers students an interesting way of looking at the world whilst being able to apply their knowledge and theory to everyday life.

The GCSE consists of 6 modules taken as two exams. Each exam is worth 35% of the total GCSE. Students also complete a controlled assessment which accounts for 25% of their total GCSE.
