IGCSE (Years 10–11)

Flexible subject choices, global recognition

In Years 10 and 11, students at Invictus Secondary School follow the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) — the world’s most popular international qualification for students aged 14 to 16. This globally respected curriculum offers a balanced, flexible framework that allows students to choose subjects aligned with their interests, strengths, and future aspirations, whether academic or career-oriented.

Our IGCSE programme builds on the foundation laid during Lower Secondary and helps students prepare for success in the Cambridge International A-Levels. With a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 25:1, our educators provide the individualised support and expert guidance needed to navigate this important phase of education. Students learn in a variety of settings, through coursework, practical learning, and written assessments—developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

At Invictus, students are empowered to take ownership of their learning, and to gain internationally recognised qualifications that open doors to the next stage of their academic journey and beyond.

Reporting to Parents

An ongoing partnership between home and school is vital to support growth and learning throughout the school years, but especially with younger children. In addition to this ongoing relationship, there will be two opportunities each academic year for parent / teacher / student conferences to discuss progress and set targets for learning. We also have two written reports, one at mid-year and one at the end of the school year. Please note that we will always be keen to meet with parents to discuss important issues, whenever they arise.
