All students who achieve
grade ‘C’ or above in Year 10 go on to study
one of these subjects in Year 11
The IGCSE is an
internationally recognised qualification
which has recently been made available to
state secondary schools as an alternative to
the GCSE. We feel that it allows our
students to develop skills acquired through
their study of GCSE English and prepares
them for further study, whether in English
or elsewhere.
Students will study at least one drama text,
a collection of poetry, and one prose text.
These will be chosen from a prescribed list
that covers a wide range of English
Literature.
ASSESSMENT
2
Terminal Examination

Progression
Success in this subject allows students to

‘A’ level, or other Level 3 courses at
Northallerton College, or elsewhere. Many of
our students progress to take the subject in
higher education.
