We offer a broad range of options for GCSE, and students usually take nine or ten subjects. There are four core subjects (English Language & Literature, Maths and Global Perspectives) that everyone must take, but the other six or seven can be chosen from our list of options, with one reserve subject.
We also offer a BTEC qualification in Creative Digital Media Production and have recently introduced GCSEs in Dance, Engineering and Food Preparation & Nutrition.

In line with our Quaker values, Leighton Park is not a highly academically selective school, so these results are a testament to the quality of teaching and our students’ appetite for learning.
