Question 18

How does Al-Hikmah Kids Academy support secondary students in preparing for their GCSE/IGCSE examinations?

Accepted Answer

At Al-Hikmah Kids Academy, we prepare secondary students for both GCSE and IGCSE examinations.

However, we are not an accredited exam centre. This means that parents need to register their children for the GCSE/IGCSE exams at an approved exam centre.

To help with this, we suggest looking into these exam boards that support private candidates:

AQA – Offers GCSEs for private candidates.
https://www.aqa.org.uk/student-and-parent-support/private-candidates

Pearson Edexcel – Offers GCSEs and International GCSEs (IGCSEs), widely accepted in the UK and internationally.
https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/registration-and-certification/entering-private-candidates.html

Cambridge International (CAIE) – Well-known for IGCSEs and very suitable for homeschoolers.
https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/why-choose-us/find-a-cambridge-school/

OCR – Offers a range of GCSEs, with limited subjects available to private candidates.
https://www.ocr.org.uk/students/private-candidates/

Parents are advised to begin this process well in advance of the exam dates, as spaces at exam centres may be limited. If you need help with this, our team is happy to provide guidance.
