GCSE Courses

One year GCSE courses are equally suitable for students who have previously taken their GCSEs at another school and wish to raise their grades and for those who have never taken GCSE before and wish to do so in one year.  These courses would also suit those who have been home-educated as a final preparation for the examinations.

IGCSE examinations are favoured by the leading independent schools as a harder test and as a better preparation for AS and A levels.  The questions tend to be more traditional in style and we offer most subjects in this format.

A Level Courses

Two year GCE Advanced (A) level courses

A level means Advanced level and is normally a two year course.  Advanced levels remain the gold standard in the English system.  Every university in the UK, in the USA and throughout the world will accept A levels as a way of meeting their entry requirements.  To enter the best universities, students will normally require high grades in three A level subjects together with one additional subject at AS level.

A student taking a two year A level course would normally study four AS level subjects for the first year.  After the first year, you would take the AS level exam papers in these four subjects in May/June.  You would then continue with three of these subjects to A level, although exceptional students may take four.

 

Intensive one year A level course

Students who have previously studied to AS or A level can choose to take all of the AS and A level units in one year as an Intensive Course.

Where i can study?

David Game College

Established in 1974, David Game is an independent College that aims to promote the joy of knowledge and learning while simultaneously maintaining the sharpest possible focus on the demands of the public examinations.  Our founder, David Game, insists on the teaching of traditional skills and on students understanding the importance of giving attention to detail.  We have an excellent track record of turning around previously underperforming students who benefit from the small classes, close monitoring system and exam-focused approach.  The College closely tracks the examination board specifications to ensure that tutors are following the current model and options and to see that all aspects of the syllabus are covered.  Homework is set regularly and students improve their examination technique through regular timed tests.

The Principal requires tutors to have a first degree in their subject and indeed, many of the staff hold doctorates and other postgraduate qualifications.  Staff retention is high and the College has a strong administrative team to support tutors and ensure that their main focus is on teaching.  With a wide range of A level subjects, we can prepare our students for whatever degree course they wish to study.  We also give special tuition for entry to law and medical school, dentistry and veterinary science degrees.  As well as GCSE and A level examinations, the College also runs one of the UK’s oldest and most respected University Foundation Programmes (UFP).  David Game College has developed strong links with the prestigious Russell Group universities and other leading higher education providers.

For those living away from home, David Game College can offer supervised accommodation and a relaxed atmosphere in which students are treated as adults.  Resident staff will ensure that they are happy, safe and well-motivated.  This includes the monitoring of their attendance and progress, which parents are also encouraged to follow through our dedicated intranet portal.  David Game College attracts students from many countries and was given Highly Trusted Status (HTS) by the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) which requires us continually to adapt our admissions and monitoring procedures.  As well as our international students, David Game has a growing number of British students who choose us for the quality of teaching and mature, disciplined but relaxed atmosphere.  The quality of David Game College teaching was rated as “outstanding” in the 2013 Ofsted inspection.

Former students recommend David Game College because of the quality of our teaching.  We blend traditional values with modern technology and teaching methodology and are keen to bring the benefits of private education to a wider audience.  In this aim, the College seeks to promote itself to parents whose children have been underperforming, to those who have been home-educated and to those who are not satisfied with their current school, whether in the independent or maintained sector.  David Game College offers the chance to turn untapped ability into recognised achievements.
