To qualify for the Sixth Form at Blue Coat, we expect you to attain at least eight GCSEs at grade 5 or above. Ideally two of these grades must be at grade 7 or above, a further four grades at grade 6 and two at grade 5. In addition, all students are required to have passed both English Language and Mathematics at grade 5 or above.
The IGCSEs do not require students to complete any coursework or a controlled practical assessment. All practical ideas are examined within the theory papers. Double Award: Students will sit papers in Biology, Chemistry and Physics lasting two hours each. Each paper contributes a third towards the two GCSEs. Triple Award: Pupils will sit two papers for each discipline. In addition to the 2 hour papers sat by Double Award students there is a 1 hour 15 minute long assessment, examining the core and additional content studied. The 2 hour paper in each subject contributes 61.1% of the marks towards the respective IGCSE, whilst the shorter paper accounts for the remaining 38.9%.
