Private Senior School
At Rye, our GCSE program has been created to enthuse, inspire and challenge our girls at every stage of their learning journey, and to give them the opportunity to excel and achieve their very best.
Rye girls have a personalised GCSE curriculum which allows them to develop into curious, resilient, and independent learners and empowers them to flourish and secure building blocks for their future.
We offer girls an exceptional choice of subjects at GCSE/IGCSE and support them in choosing a broad and balanced selection that allows them to play to their individual aptitudes and aspirations, whilst keeping their options open for the next stage of their academic lives.
A mixture of GCSEs and IGCSEs are offered, both are fully recognised by universities and employers. Heads of Departments at Rye St Antony choose GCSE or IGCSE to best suit our students and to maximise their attainment.
