Start in Year 9. Build momentum.

We begin GCSE preparation in Year 9 so students build depth before Year 11, close KS3 gaps, and develop exam technique over time with lower stress.

Years 9–10: 7‑Week Cycle

  • Weeks 1–5: New GCSE topics by tier and paper.
  • Week 6: Structured revision.
  • Week 7: Timed assessment with examiner‑style marking.
  • 48 lessons per year with data‑driven next steps.

Year 11: Exam‑Paper Focus
