The Warminster School Accelerated GCSE Programme (AGP) is a well balanced and rigorous one year (I)GCSE programme for pupils in Year 11 (School age 15-16). It is the perfect programme to set pupils up for Sixth Form study, whether that be through the IB Diploma or A Level route.
The AGP very much follows the principles behind the IB Diploma and all six subject areas are covered within the AGP:
- Group 1 (Language and Literature) - Own Language/MFL
- Group 2 (Language acquisition) - English/MFL
- Group 3 (Individuals and societies) - History
- Group 4 (Experimental Science) - Biology/Chemistry/Physics
- Group 5 (Mathematics) - Maths
- Group 6 (The Arts) - Art
As well as following up to 7 (I)GCSE qualifications, all AGP pupils have tutor time, Games and Physical Education, attend whole school assembly in the Minster Church and follow a varied co-curricular programme.
The AGP pupils are fully integrated with other Year 11 pupils in over 60% of their timetabled lessons, as well as integrating in the boarding community.
As each pupil will have a variety or experience and interest, we provide an element of choice for all pupils to try and meet their needs.
All pupils study Maths, English, History and their own First Language
Pupils must choose one of the following pairs of options: 1) Chemistry and Art, 2) Chemistry and Biology, 3) Physics and Art or 4) Physics and Biology
Finally, pupils with enough experience can study French, Spanish or German as a Modern Foreign Language (MFL) subject. Those choosing not to study an MFL will follow an EAL programme.
