Learning at Metaverse School & College
IGCSE, IB and International A-Level — taught live, taught well.
Students can join secondary education immediately after year 6 of primary education leading to two years of IGCSE followed by a genuine choice of sixth-form pathway, all delivered through daily live lessons in small classes.
Years 7–11 · Key Stage 3 & 4 · Ages 12–16
International GCSE
Metaverse School & College exists for one reason: to give students studying IGCSE, IB and International A-Levels a genuine school experience, wherever in the world they live. That means live teaching, not a library of videos. It means small classes where a teacher can tell you exactly where a student is struggling. And it means the same duty of care, safeguarding rigour and pastoral structure that any good school in England is expected to provide — adapted thoughtfully for an online setting, never relaxed because of it.
We serve students who need flexibility — families relocating internationally, students balancing academics with elite sport or the arts, homeschoolers wanting structured subject teaching, and anyone who learns better in a smaller, calmer classroom than a large school can offer — without ever compromising on academic rigour or safeguarding.
Core & optional subjects include:
Mathematics
English
Physics
Biology
Chemistry
History
Geography
Citizenship (RSE)
PE
RSHE
Business Studies
Leadership Coaching
How IGCSE is assessed
Students sit internationally recognised IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11, through an approved examination centre with remote or in-person invigilation depending on subject and location. Coursework and controlled assessment components are supervised and moderated in line with awarding-body requirements.
Years 12–13 · Key Stage 5 · Ages 16–18
International A-Level
Three or four subjects, studied in depth over two years, with subject specialists who teach to genuine A-Level standard — not a simplified online version of it. Structured UCAS guidance runs alongside the academic programme from the start of Year 12.
Popular subject combinations include:
Mathematics, Further Mathematics & Physics
Biology, Chemistry & Psychology
Economics, Business & Mathematics
Mathematics, Further Mathematics & Physics
English Literature, History & Politics
Computer Science, Mathematics & Physics
University & UCAS support
Personal statement guidance, subject-specific university advice, and mock interview practice, alongside the option to sit external tests where a course requires them. Our aim is straightforward: every A-Level and IB student leaves with an application that reflects their actual ability.
Years 12–13 · Key Stage 5 · Ages 16–18
IB Diploma Programme
For students who want breadth alongside depth: six subjects across the IB’s subject groups, plus Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS). We are developing our IB provision in line with International Baccalaureate Organization requirements as part of our IB World School candidacy, and will confirm formal authorisation status here once complete.
Why families choose the IB with us
Small live classes suit the IB’s discussion-led approach far better than large lecture-style delivery. Students get direct teacher time for TOK discussion and EE supervision — the parts of the diploma that are hardest to do well remotely at scale.
How we teach
Live, structured, and genuinely assessed.
Live, small-group lessons
Every core lesson is delivered live by a subject specialist, with class sizes kept small enough for genuine discussion and individual feedback.
Recorded for review
Lessons are recorded to each student’s own digital notebook, so revision means reviewing the actual lesson, not a generic video.
Regular assessment
Structured testing and marked work at regular intervals, with written feedback parents and students can both see.
Parent visibility
A parent portal with attendance, progress and feedback, plus scheduled progress meetings each term.
Learning support
Individual scaffolding and reasonable adjustments for students with additional learning needs, agreed with families case by case.
Exam-board aligned
Teaching mapped directly to the specifications of the awarding bodies our students are entered with, taught by teachers who know the mark schemes.
Beyond the curriculum
Spiritual, moral, social and cultural
development, built into school life.
A screen doesn’t remove a school’s responsibility to help students grow as people, not just as exam candidates. This runs through form time, assemblies, enrichment activities and how staff and students are expected to treat one another every day.
Spiritual
Time for reflection and exploring values, belief and identity, respectful of every student’s background.
Moral
Clear expectations of honesty, responsibility and respect, with a restorative approach when things go wrong.
Social
Teamwork in live lessons, clubs, mentoring and a global peer group students genuinely get to know.
Cultural
Understanding of fundamental British values alongside real celebration of students’ own diverse backgrounds.
