Business Studies
This course aims to develop learners understanding of business and encourages creative thinking and decision making. They learn about the world of business through research and investigation as well as practical tasks.
English as a Second Language
The syllabus:
is suitable for learners whose first language is not English
develops learners’ ability to understand and use English in a range of situations
builds learners’ awareness of the nature of language and the four language-learning skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking
focuses on practical communication for everyday use, which can also form the basis for further, more in-depth language study
develops transferable skills to complement other areas of the curriculum.
English as a First Language
The course enables learners to:
- develop the ability to communicate clearly, accurately and effectively when speaking and writing
- use a wide range of vocabulary, and the correct grammar, spelling and punctuation
- develop a personal style and an awareness of the audience being addressed.
Economics
The Cambridge IGCSE Economics syllabus develops an understanding of economic theory, terminology and principles. Learners study the economics of different countries and how these interrelate. They also learn to work with simple economics data and to use the tools of economic analysis. Learners apply understanding of economics to current economic issues.
Computer Science
Learners will develop their understanding of the main principles of solving problems by using computers as well as their understanding that every computer system is made up of sub-systems, which in turn consist of further subsystems.
In addition, learners will gain greater knowledge of the component parts of computer systems and how they interrelate, including software, data, hardware, communications and people.
Finally, learners will develop the skills necessary to apply understanding to solve computer-based problems using a high-level programming language
Information and Communication Technology
Through practical and theoretical studies, students solve problems using a variety of common software such as word processors and interactive presentation software (Excel, Powerpoint, Access Database, Web builder software and Words).
Learners will analyse, design, implement, test and evaluate ICT systems, making sure that they are fit for purpose. There is an emphasis on developing lifelong skills, which are essential across the curriculum and their future career.
Additional Mathematics
This course helps learners to develop a feel for quantity, patterns and relationships. Learners will develop their reasoning, problem-solving and analytical skills in a variety of contexts.
It provides a strong foundation of mathematical knowledge both for candidates studying mathematics at a higher level and those who will require mathematics to support skills in other subjects.
Physics
The syllabus includes the basic principles and concepts that are fundamental to the subject, some current applications of physics, and a strong emphasis on practical skills.
