Year 10 - GCSE/IGCSE (1st year)

Education that is focused upon the needs of each individual, developing inquiring and knowledgeable people who understand how to lead happy and fulfilling lives as compassionate members of a global community, with the skills to play active roles in an inclusive and sustainable future.

Kent College is an inclusive school and unique in providing many different pathways for pupils as they progress through the College. We believe that pupils progress best when they work at a pace appropriate for them and with fellow students operating at the same level. As a result we set for many subjects from year 7 onwards to ensure students can be either challenged and extend their learning or be supported to clarify their understanding and build their confidence.

At Kent College, we are proud of our ability to provide bespoke timetables at this level. Options are not forced upon the students. A strong element of flexibility allows courses to be tailor-made for each individual.

For the vast majority of students, the curriculum pattern will be to study English Language, English Literature, Mathematics and Religious Studies as compulsory subjects. They will then choose their additional examination subjects from the following options: Art, Design and Technology Graphic Products, Design and Technology Resistant Materials, Drama, Electronics, English as an Additional Language, French, Media, Food and Nutrition, German, Geography, History, Music, Physical Education, Double or Triple Science (including Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and Spanish.
