Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they not take exams in these subjects
