Gems secondary school
From Key Stage 3 which is Year 7 to 9 (11-13 years old). Students study English, Mathematics, History, Geography, ICT, Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music, Modern Languages, Phyiscal Education, Kiswahili and Personal, Social & Health Education.
The National Curriculum focuses on knowledge, skills and understanding so our students learn to apply the knowledge they learn in different situations. At the end of each year, there is an exam to assess their progress and at the end of the Key Stage (in Year 9), students sit a Cambridge Checkpoint assessment.
In Key Stage 4 i.e Year 10 & 11 (14- 15 years old), the IGCSE and BTEC Level 2 curriculum is introduced. A range of subjects catering for a variety of academic needs and interests are offered. BTEC courses consist purely of coursework and there is no terminal exam.
During the final two years of school (Year 12 and 13, or students between 16-18years), students sit for the AS and A level examinations. An Edexcel BTEC level 3 vocational course has also been introduced. Again, a wide range of subjects are offered which assist in preparing students for higher education or a multitude of career opportunities. Key leadership qualities are also very important in these senior years.
