Choosing the Right Course

To calculate your average GCSE score, the number of points for full GCSEs are added together and divided by the number of subjects you have taken. Please enter your course subject and select your predicted grade from the drop down list. Don't worry if you're not doing a full GCSE programme whatever you're doing will be taken into account and discussed at your interview.
