- Key Stage 4
Pupils begin IGCSE/GCSE courses in Form 4 (Year 10) and sit their external examinations with Pearson/Edexcel and Cambridge International at the end of Form 5 (Year 11). However, modular examinations are currently offered in Maths, Economics and Geography during Form 4.
Maths, English Language, English Literature and Global Perspectives are compulsory at this level. Pupils are also required to choose one Science subject. In addition, they are expected to select either four or five further subjects from the following list:
Subjects
Greek Language:
Greek is not compulsory for Cypriot pupils to continue into Form 4; however, if it is not chosen at this stage, it cannot be selected later in Lower 6 for AS Level.
We follow IGCSE courses in most subjects, with the exception of Music, Drama, Greek (Second Language) and Art, where pupils are prepared for GCSE examinations. (For university matriculation purposes, IGCSE and GCSE qualifications are considered equivalent.)
The School is a registered examination centre for both Pearson Edexcel (London) and Cambridge International Examinations.
Please note that Spanish and German are also offered as two-year courses for beginners leading to IGCSE.
For entry into the Sixth Form, pupils are expected to have achieved at least seven IGCSE passes at Grade 5 or above, including Mathematics and English Language, as well as a minimum Grade 6 or 7 (depending on the subject) in the subjects they wish to study at A Level.
