WHAT WE DO?
At Quantum CMS Academy, we understand that different schools and students follow different exam boards – and that each board has its own style, structure, and assessment criteria. That’s why our GCSE preparation programmes are designed to be fully flexible and aligned with multiple major exam boards across the UK. Our tutors are trained to adapt lesson content, past paper practice, and revision strategies to suit the specific requirements of the exam board your child is studying — helping them to gain confidence, improve performance, and achieve top grades.
Common Exam Boards in High Wycombe and Surrounding Areas
In the High Wycombe area, most schools typically follow one of the following national exam boards:
AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance)
One of the most widely used exam boards in England, AQA is known for its broad syllabus, structured question formats, and clear mark schemes. We prepare students for all AQA GCSE subjects, including English Language, Literature, Maths, and Combined/Triple Science.
OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations)
Commonly used in Buckinghamshire schools, OCR exams often include a balance of multiple-choice and written questions, with a focus on analytical and evaluative skills. We provide targeted support for OCR's approach in English, Maths, and Sciences.
Pearson Edexcel
Popular in many grammar and private schools, Edexcel offers a mix of traditional and modern curriculum content. Our Edexcel-focused support includes in-depth topic breakdowns, structured writing practice, and mock paper walkthroughs.
Cambridge IGCSE (CIE)
Although more common in international and independent schools, some High Wycombe schools offer IGCSEs through Cambridge. We provide support tailored to the international structure and grading system used by CIE.
WJEC Eduqas
Used in some parts of the UK and nearby counties, Eduqas is part of the WJEC family and offers an alternative assessment approach. We support students with Eduqas exam preparation, especially in English and Humanities subjects.
Do You Know Your Child’s Exam Board?
If you're unsure which board your child is following, we can help you find out during your free consultation. Once identified, we build a personalised preparation plan aligned with that board’s exact expectations.
Why It Matters?
Each exam board has:
Different content emphasis
Unique assessment styles
Distinct grading structures
Varying expectations in writing and problem-solving
Preparing without knowing the board often leads to confusion and unnecessary stress. With Quantum CMS Academy, your child receives exactly the kind of support they need — clear, customised, and focused.
