Latest news on UK exams

You may be interested to know that early entry GCSE - typically after one year of study - have fallen from 169,000 students to 31,000 students in the UK this year. It reflects the government drive to stop early entry of students who are simply not ready to get the grades they deserve. You also need to be aware of changes to GCSE and A level to make them much harder in the coming years. With Russell Group top universities looking increasingly at students needing the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), A levels for top students are starting to look more like IB with the differences between what you need for the 2 courses growing a little closer together. We have always stressed for top students 'A levels alone are not enough' . You need to do things from the Key Professions booklet in Canterbury along with things like EPQ to enhance your chances at the very top universities.

We have booklets about all our courses and activities and all the amazing range of extra activities we offer linked to your subject areas and future plans - just ask and we are delighted to send on
