Do schools in Gibraltar follow the British curriculum and offer GCSEs and A-levels?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gibraltar's schools follow the English system, with pupils sitting GCSEs at 16 and A-levels in the sixth form, using the same 9 to 1 GCSE grading as England. The qualifications are awarded by UK exam boards and are recognised by UK and international universities.
Secondary education in Gibraltar is provided by two Government comprehensive schools, Bayside School and Westside School, both of which are now co-educational. Pupils follow Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 before sitting GCSEs at the end of Year 11, typically taking up to around 10 subjects including English, Mathematics and Science. GCSEs use the reformed 9 to 1 grading system, with grade 4 regarded as a standard pass.
After GCSEs, students can stay on for a two-year A-level course in the sixth form at Bayside or Westside, or move to the Gibraltar College. As a guide, Bayside requires at least four GCSE passes at grade 4 or above to study two A-levels and at least five for three A-levels, preferably including English and Mathematics. Individual subjects may have higher entry requirements.
The Gibraltar College offers full-time and part-time academic, vocational and professional courses, including GCSE resits and Level 3 qualifications, and acts as Gibraltar's examination centre working with UK awarding bodies. Prior Park School Gibraltar is an independent co-educational secondary school for ages 12 to 18.
