At Bents Green we offer a range of qualifications which have been selected to provide recognition of the hard work and progress our students make whilst at the school. 

Tutor Teams are happy to talk to Parents/Carers about which qualifications their child is likely to take and the work the students are carrying out in preparation for assessment. 

We invite all Y10 and upwards Parents/Carers to an Exams Presentation Evening in March. The Headteacher will provide useful information about the upcoming exam season, key dates, how assessments work and how families can support their child.

Our Y7-Y11 students follow either Pathway 1, 2, 3 or 4. Each pathway works towards a range of qualifications for example  

Subject	Level
Maths	GCSE or Entry Level Certificate
English	Entry Level Certificate or Unit Awards
Science	GCSE Biology, Entry Level Certificate   or Unit Awards
PE/Sports Studies	Entry Level Certificate and/or Level 1 Award
