Courses and Qualifications

We offer a range of academic options for students aged between 15 and 19 and we provide the guidance that is required to make good course and subject choices for a successful future.

Students are taught in small groups (average of seven per class) and each main subject is allocated no less than 6 hours per week.

Many students commence their Earlscliffe journey in Year 11.There are two academic options available for these students. Both are intended to prepare the students for A-Levels, we guide the students towards either the GCSE curriculum with exams at the end of the year, or the Pre-A-Level programme.
