Notes :

  1. SRIS advises all students to choose a Modern Language and a Humanities subject though these are not compulsory.
  2. PE and Games are compulsory within the National Curriculum and students cannot opt out of these sessions.
  3. There is absolutely no differentiation between GCSE/IGCSE and '0' Levels. These are accepted by all educational institutions as being one and the same qualification. The only differences are in the syllabus content of the courses.
  4. A 'C' grade (or better) is considered as a pass grade.
  5. It may be possible to add to the options programme for Year 10 and 11 students in the school activities programme but this cannot be guaranteed. Equally, if a student is entered for an examination early (e.g. in Year 9 or 10) then her/his options are naturally increased.
