Choosing Options for IGCSE

Our pupils choose their IGCSE options in the middle of Year 9. These are the subjects they will study
over two years at an extended level in Years 10 and 11. Pupils must choose English Language and
Literature, Mathematics and at least one Science and a Second Language, plus four other subjects of
choice from the option blocks that will be shared in the option choices form.

Some selected pupils may be invited to study in the Fast Track Mathematics class. This allows pu-
pils to sit their IGCSE Mathematics exam at the end of Year 10 and then, grade dependant. Thus for
our more able pupils, it is possible to obtain up to 10 IGCSE’s.

We aim to offer a broad and wide-ranging school experience for all our pupils at JPGS. Therefore,
pupils should have a good balance of Science, Humanities and Arts subjects at IGCSE level.
