“All subjects are taught by specialised professionals in each field”
During secondary education at Caxton College one of our objectives is to offer students a wide range of subjects in order for them to receive a full and complete education.
From Year 7 to Year 9 pupils study: English Language, Mathematics, Science, Spanish Language & Literature, Personal & Social Studies, Religious Education, Ethics, French, German, Valencian, Art, Geography, History, I.C.T, Music and Physical Education.
In the last two years of secondary (Year 10 and Year 11) the curriculum is more flexible and pupils are able to choose between some of the subjects depending on their preferences and their career choices.

“Accepting responsibilities for our actions and having a healthy attitude towards life”
In these stages, both teachers and tutors work closely to ensure that students acquire effective learning techniques, become responsible for their actions, make positive life choices, use their free time wisely… All with their personal development in mind.
Official Exams
At the end of this period students take
official external examinations from the U.K after which they will obtain their IGCSE certificates (International General Certificate of Secondary Education).
School Trips & Cultural Visits
Caxton College offers a great variety of trips to visit exhibitions, museums, historic monuments, official institutions etc.
We also organize excursions, that help them to learn more about the world around them as well as sports trips (aquatic or winter).
Sixth Form
In order to join the sixth form pupils must have passed a minimum number of subjects at IGCSE with good grades. Pupils are given career advice and those who wish to study at British universities are informed of the grades they will need to gain in their chosen AS and A2 subjects. Those pupils who wish to attend Spanish universities study for the Spanish University Entrance Exam.
Once they have gained their A level qualifications pupils can attend universities in the UK, Spain and other countries.
