The British Curriculum is explained in detail at gov.uk/national-curriculum, which presents all the stages and year groups up to and including Key Stage 4 (students 14 to 16 years old). During this stage, our students take the IGCSE examinations from the prestigious University of Cambridge Examinations Board.
