Small class sizes
One-to-one attention
Examination practice
Enrichment programme
Students coming to MPW for GCSE courses enjoy very small classes in a co-education setting – there is an average of six students per class and absolute guarantee of fewer than 10. We also have an outstanding pastoral support system, providing our students with personalised attention at every stage of their GCSE journey.
As a GCSE pupil at MPW, you’ll feel that we’re less like a school than your old school, and we don’t have school uniform in our Colleges. Your programme will be structured for success – for example, if you’re under 16 at the beginning of the school year, we provide a much closer level of supervision in between lessons and you will have timetabled library sessions during which you can complete some of your homework. Within our wide enrichment programme, there is one compulsory and one optional Sport session per week and a compulsory study skills and PSHE programme.
GCSE & IGCSE Subjects
"The first time I came to MPW I had a taster day and I was really impressed by the school. The format and structure of the lessons was really different from Kazakhstan. The thing I like most is that you can call the teachers by their first names and MPW is more open-minded than other schools. Teachers are positive and supportive and you get to know your class really well because it is so small. I attended most of the Principal’s lectures this year and they were really interesting. I like that we celebrate other traditions here and learn to understand them. I helped organise the Nauryz festival and went to Chinese New Year celebrations."
