Here at Wellington, we offer a similar model, studying mostly IGCSEs (International GCSEs). The content is often very close in style. The programme comprises three compulsory subjects: English, mathematics and chemistry. Options are available within a structured framework They consist of the sciences, foreign languages, humanities and art and electives.

The results of the IGCSE exams may be used in the UK by selective schools to set barriers to study the IB Diploma or A Levels in the sixth form (years 12 and 13). Most universities worldwide recognise the IGCSE qualification because they are likely to have experience with British pupils, and it is the standard British national qualification for pupils of that age.
