Enrol in our one-year intensive GCSE course
Students studying GCSE at Brampton College follow a one year course and generally a programme of seven subjects. The course is intensive, offering the opportunity to revise all the work covered in year 10 together with year 11 material.
The majority of the intake includes those transferring to Brampton College having completed year 10 in other schools, some overseas students wishing to complete their GCSEs in one year and integrate into the English education system, as well as some students retaking GCSEs.
What GCSE Results Do Brampton College Students achieve?
Whether taking these exams for the first time or resitting, Brampton GCSE students achieve excellent outcomes. In 2026 more than one in five results (21%) were at the very highest grades of 9 or 8 (A*) and 64% were grades 9-6 (A*-B) ensuring smooth progression to A level studies and beyond.
Pupils are graded by a 1-9 number system as opposed to the traditional A*-G grading. 9 is the highest and 1 the lowest. 9, 8 and 7 correspond to the current top grades of A* and A and this has been designed to give more differentiation at the top end. 9 has been awarded to fewer pupils than A* was previously.
