IGCSE
Year 10, Year 11 (Age 15, Age 16)
IGCSE stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education. It is equivalent to the GCSE qualification taken by UK students to prepare them for A Levels. IGCSEs are offered in many countries across the world as well as in the UK itself, where many private schools feel they are better preparation for A Levels than the GCSE.
IGCSEs are internationally recognised qualifications that lead directly into A-levels.
At MCS most pupils study the following ‘core’ subjects at IGCSE:
Mathematics
A Modern Foreign Language – French or Spanish
English - Either First Language and/or Literature or English as an Additional Language
