When do I chose my GCSE courses and how many will I do?
Pupils choose their GCSE options towards the end of Year 9, to study in Year 10 and 11. In some schools, however, all or some GCSE syllabuses are studied over a three-year, rather than a two-year, period. Pupils at these secondaries will make their choices in Year 8. Most pupils study eight to 10 subjects.
