Lower College
Year 9, 10 & 11
In Year 9 (our Third Form), you study 17 subjects, building strong academic foundations through a wide-ranging programme that includes languages, sciences, humanities, creative subjects and leadership skills, alongside the Foundation Project Qualification (FPQ).
In Year 10 and 11 (our Fourth and Fifth Forms), you are studying for your GCSEs and you have 22 subjects to choose from, and pupils usually studying nine or ten GCSEs.
If you are currently in Year 10 at Rendcomb College, we have looked at the subject specific exam boards across GCSEs offered at Rendcomb and at Cheltenham, and many of them are the same or similar. Our Heads of Departments would be happy to talk these through with you at any point.
