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
At the age of 16, pupils can leave school If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications) It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ
Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History To go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels
AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the A-level German language exam, but not take the A-level German Literature exam
GNVQs are vocational qualifications Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A levels
