IGCSE / GCSE Mid Course Booster

Key points

• Perfect preparation for school term GCSE / IGCSE courses
• For students aged 13-17
• Very small class sizes (6 – 8 students)
• 30 lessons per week: 22hr 30m
• Six lessons in each of four chosen subjects plus six lessons of drama
• Essential study skills
• Experience of practical science
• Optional additional individual tuition classes available
• Full programme of sports, afternoon and evening activities
• Two excursions a week (including study trips on alternate Wednesdays for those staying more than two weeks)
• For students with CEFR level B1 (Intermediate Level) and above

Students on this course can choose four subjects from: biology, chemistry, physics, maths and English.

Lessons consolidate and revise key areas of content and skills from Year 10, boosting motivation and reducing stress. Our small classes allow clarification and further explanation where individual students need it.

In the sciences, practical experiments are carried out to refresh and deepen students understanding of important topics and, in all subjects, the use of practice papers and questions, allows students to improve their exam technique by identifying keywords and recognising what it is examiners want to see.

Throughout, students develop their use of the English language appropriate for studying and for life in a boarding school and the UK generally. Students learn to analyse texts, develop research skills and present conclusions and results orally, in debates or in written form. Drama lessons help increase confidence in speaking and performing.

Students can come for the whole 7 weeks or can register for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 weeks. There is no repetition of material so, for a thorough preparation, we recommend as much time as possible. You can study the same four subjects for the whole time, or may choose different subjects in different two-week sections.
