A sound general education is essential, covering a broad syllabus and avoiding
excessive and premature specialisation. Bramdean offers a wide range of subjects at GCSE
and 'A' level and pupils have the opportunity to sit the IGCSE in several subjects.

Senior School
The senior school (years 9, 10 and 11) follows a full curriculum in preparation for their GCSE courses. Pupils in the lower and middle sixth (years 10 and 11) have the opportunity to study as many subjects as possible through GCSE and A-level. However, in order to assist pupils, a prescribed range of subjects are decided on by close consultation with principals and subject staff. In addition to the compulsory core subjects of English language and literature, and mathematics, at least one science (biology, chemistry or physics), one modern foreign language (French or German), religious education and information technology, are taken by all pupils. All pupils take part in various codes of sport during the week.

   

HMI Ofsted inspectors said:
"Academic attainment is excellent."
"The school's results in GCSE and A Level examinations are impressive and underline the high quality of teaching and learning across the school."

"Pupils who chose to stay on into the 6th form gain the necessary qualifications for a place at the university of their choice."

For the past 10 years from 2000 to 2010, Bramdean has achieved an average of 95.8% of pupils achieving 5 or more GCSEs at A*-C.
