Subjects
Once a place has been accepted, the process of choosing subjects begins. Unlike in Germany, pupils usually have far more choice and far fewer rigid requirements.
In the GCSE years (Years 10 and 11), English, Maths and Science are compulsory. On top of that come options such as History, Geography, Art, Music or Computer Science. Modern languages like Spanish or Mandarin are also often available.
In the Sixth Form (A levels), pupils typically select three to four subjects depending on their strengths and interests – anything from Biology, Psychology or Politics to Design & Technology. IB students take six subjects from defined groups, such as Language & Literature, Sciences or the Arts. Many schools offer guidance or hold conversations around subject choice, particularly if a pupil is planning to apply to university abroad
