PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES OPEN HOUSE
As students start their process of selecting IGCSEs, they embark on a pivotal stage of their education, on Friday 22nd of November I met with several Year 8 and 9 parents in the auditorium for a “Greengates Talks’ event to start the conversation about what the IGCSE options look like at Greengates. As the IGCSE Coordinator it is my privilege to guide our students and parents through this important process. The Cambridge IGCSE is recognised worldwide for its academic rigor and comprehensive approach, offering our students an excellent foundation for further studies and future opportunities.
The IGCSE curriculum emphasises critical thinking, problem-solving, and a global perspective, making it a robust preparation for higher-level qualifications such as the IB Diploma in Years 12 and 13. Choosing the right subjects is important, as it allows students to explore their interests while developing skills across disciplines. At Greengates we encourage a balanced selection of subjects, ensuring students build versatility and confidence in their learning.
What makes a good IGCSE learner? Commitment, curiosity, and organisation are key. Students who embrace challenges, manage their time effectively, and actively engage with their studies often excel. Parental support also plays a vital role, from encouraging good study habits to maintaining open communication about progress.
Together, we can ensure your child’s IGCSE journey is enriching and successful, I hope to meet with many more students and parents this year to help make the IGCSEs and the selection of subjects as successful and enriching as they can be for your child.

IGCSE Coordinator
At Greengates, we are committed to creating an environment where every child feels valued and respected. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community of families, united by the belief that our diversity is a source of strength and something to be celebrated.
As Educators, we are continuously striving to improve practice and one of the most effective ways that we can do this is through collaboration with others in our profession. This October, we had seven teachers visit Greengates from the British School, Rio to observe the teaching and learning in the primary school. The visit came as a result of a recommendation from our accreditation body, the International Curriculum Association (ICA), who have recognised Greengates Primary as a school of best practice.
Last week, our Performing Arts teachers, Victor Lopez (Drama) and Hadiya Morris (Music and Drama), attended a regional Americas course in Panama focused on the Juilliard K-12 Curriculum.
