Throughout the year students will also study pre-IGCSE topics in each of their subjects to allow for the smooth transition to Key Stage 4 studies. Towards the end of Year 9, students and parents are invited into school to discuss IGCSE options. They will have an opportunity to select 4 subjects in Year 10 and a further 4 subjects in Year 11, in addition to Arabic.
Those students who perform exceptionally well in Year 10 will have the opportunity to continue with that subject at AS level in Year 11, where the timetable allows.
Students wishing to take additional IGCSE subjects will need to meet with the Head of Secondary to discuss this.
Our Kuwaiti students will need to select Islamic Studies as one of their compulsory subjects.

At secondary, all students receive regular assessments. When students enter at Year 7, they are assessed for numeracy and literacy skills to enable effective target setting and lesson differentiation to cater for all our students as individuals. During the school year students will receive four Student Progress Information assessments; two formal assessment reports which follow our bi-annual examination cycle in December and May and half termly formative assessments. So, in total, parents and students will have the opportunity to track student learning four times a year.
