While many tend to associate sixth-form colleges primarily with A-level courses, Duff Miller has developed a thriving GCSE department that can provide the ideal introduction to life at the college ahead of moving on to A-level. The relaxed yet exam-focused atmosphere can prove beneficial to the students, especially in preparing them for the greater freedom and academic rigour of sixth form. But it is the small class-sizes and personal attention we offer which make our GCSE courses an appealing option. Added supervision and extra-curricular activities are also provided for GCSE students, in recognition of their younger age and in accordance with the demands of the National Curriculum.
The most popular GCSE option is our one-year, fast-track course, which is an intensive preparation for GCSE beginning in September. Retakes over one or two terms are also on offer, although these can be done during the lower sixth in addition to AS Levels. More details on GCSE courses can be found in the GCSE Prospectus.
