GCSEs

From September 2025, we will be offering a varied and enriching GCSE Programme.

We have a fixed GCSE Programme at KCO, allowing all students to study the core subjects of English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Languages, PE, and Global Perspectives.

Each lesson lasts for 55 minutes and classes are usually around 8 students. Everyone receives individual support from both their Personal Tutor to help them work out what steps they need to take as they progress through their GCSEs.

Please see the example timetable of a KCO GCSE student below.

All students will be supported in their choice of taking the Double or Triple Science Award.

Students may also wish to take one subject of their choice which will be led by the student, and supported by their Personal Tutor, to develop independent learning skills.

Additional subjects, including Latin, Greek, and Art, will be available after school at an extra cost.

We know that a ‘one size fits all’ approach does not work in schools, so our teaching always prioritises what the next steps are for each individual student, however well they are doing.
