I'm in Year 9 and just shifted to England from India

I was in Grade 8 (British Year 9) in India and shifted mid-year. I'm not starting school until September 2022 and I need help. I'm gonna join a Grammar/State School. Can someone please explain the British Schooling System? Like what GCSE's are and what all I need to study (The Stuff that is being taught in class) and what are good year 9 TextBooks and Guides I can use to cope up. Thanks

hey
You get to choose your GCSE subjects but the compulsory ones are Maths, English Language, Literature, Double/Triple Science and it varies depending on your school but I also went to a grammar school and we had to pick a language and either Geography or History. You take around 10 to 12 subjects. For textbooks and guides, most people use the CGP ones: they have a guide for every subject.

I'm from India too and moved here in year 6 and I'm in year 13 now so if you have any more questions you can ask me or PMS me!

Have you applied to a school and gotten a place, why are they making you wait until September 2022 when you NEED to be in education (or are you being homeschooled until then) The main reason I'm worried is that if you're Year 9 currently you'll be Year 10 when you start in 2022 and so GCSEs will have started and you will miss out on guidance from teachers on what to pick (teachers who know your ability and can provide advice based on evidence)

I suggest looking at exam boards websites for understanding on what is taught, search up these names:

AQA
WJEC
Edexcel
OCR
They are the main awarding bodies you will see

Well Ive been living in an airbnb cuz we're getting our house in January. And for applying to a school you need a permanent address. I haven't left my school in India yet but the problem is that they stopped doing online classes. But theyre gonna start Online Classes in January again cuz of Omicron. (Our sessions normally end in March and Start in May). And if they dont start online classes, Im gonna join Mid-Year here. My father bought CGP books
