Year 10 + Year 11

Learning at King’s is an active, dynamic experience which flourishes because of good relationships and open discussions between teachers and students and between the students themselves.
The teaching at the College is aimed to develop confidence, autonomy, and positive motivation among the students. This is not just to help them pass exams, but to help prepare them for a world where they will be expected to come to judgments and make and defend decisions.
The role of the teacher is, therefore, to stimulate and support learning, not necessarily to stand and deliver information. The main methodology will be discursive with teachers guiding small classes through learning discussions in English.
A two-year course combining in Y10: the study of some GCSEs with a broad introduction to other subjects with Year 11: the continuation of GCSEs started in Year 10 with optional one-year courses.

Candidates who are new to the King’s family sit a Password test in English/Knowledge and Mathematics. If students can provide a UKiset certificate from within twelve months before their month and year of entry to the College, they do not need to sit the Password tests.

To be considered, students usually show a strong score in Mathematics and good English proficiency.
