The majority of our IGCSEs follow Edexcel syllabuses. You can find all exam board details on our subject pages: https://georgedk4.com/gcse-online/

Our Assured courses are certified by the world-respected board City & Guilds. These courses are not equivalent to GCSEs, but they do award students with a certificate upon completion. Like GCSEs, they also involve 120 guided learning hours.

Film Studies at King’s InterHigh is a UK GCSE, not an IGCSE. As such, students must be able to sit their final exam at an exam centre in the UK. The remaining 30% of the course will be assessed through a film or screenplay extract produced by the student.

Photography Perspectives at King’s InterHigh is an Assured course, which means it does not count as a GCSE or IGCSE. This course is assessed through coursework and certified by City & Guilds, a highly respected awarding body.

2 3

Drama and Performance in Practice at King’s InterHigh is an Assured course, which means it does not count as a GCSE or IGCSE. This course is assessed through coursework and certified by City & Guilds, a highly respected awarding body.

Currently, we are unable to offer Drama as an IGCSE qualification as exam boards do not accept a remote substitute for the live performance component.

At King’s InterHigh, we offer International GCSEs, also known as IGCSEs. Like British GCSEs, IGCSEs are internationally respected two-year courses available in a wide array of subjects, setting a solid foundation for A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme.

However, there are some key differences between the two. IGCSEs can be studied anywhere in the world, and some IGCSE subjects include more globalised content. IGCSE exams are also available in three sessions per year (May to June, November, or January) to accommodate all students. All IGCSEs at King’s InterHigh are assessed entirely through examinations, and some subjects may be graded using the traditional ‘A* to G’ system (rather than the new ‘9 to 1’ scale).

We also offer two subjects as GCSEs: Film Studies and Psychology. Students must be able to take exams in a UK exam centre to study these subjects.
