Why Complete A Two Year GCSE Programme At An Independent School?
Two year GCSE courses at RIC provide students with the chance to develop study skills, valuable time to discover where their aptitudes and potential lie, alongside the ability to change their minds during the course of the programme and find new directions before finalising their exam subject choices ahead of year 11. Furthermore, at the end of a two year GCSE course at RIC, students are well placed to apply for RIC’s sixth form, local grammar schools, or to other UK schools and Colleges.
