Examinations

St John’s School is a mainstream UK comprehensive school and as such we offer the same range of examinations as schools in the UK. For example, the vast majority of our students sit GCSE examinations at the end of Year 11 and A level examinations at the end of Year 13. We also offer a limited range of BTEC and similar vocational qualifications. For an up-to-date list of examination courses on offer please consult the Year 9 Options Booklet and the Sixth Form Prospectus.
