Six real qualifications. One complete curriculum.
Latitude launches with the qualifications that open doors: Maths, both Englishes, Combined Science, Geography and Psychology. Every one is fully accessible to home-educated students as private candidates.
Standard GCSE English Language requires a spoken assessment in controlled conditions, and GCSE sciences require teacher-signed practical endorsements. Neither can be done from home. The IGCSE versions of these subjects are assessed entirely by written exam, carry the same 9–1 grades, and are accepted by sixth forms and universities. It’s the qualification route built for students outside a school building, which is exactly why we chose it.
What your child will study.
Mathematics
Every topic taught from scratch: number, algebra, geometry, ratio and statistics. Worked-example videos walk through the methods step by step, and mastery checks make sure nothing is left behind before your child moves on.
English Language
Reading with insight and writing with control: comprehension, analysis, and the craft of writing for purpose and audience. Assessed entirely through written exams, so the whole qualification is deliverable from home.
English Literature
Poetry, prose and drama: how writers create meaning, and how to write about it convincingly. Texts are studied in depth with guided analysis lessons building towards full exam-style responses.
Combined Science (Double Award)
Biology, Chemistry and Physics taught as one connected course, worth two IGCSE grades. No practical endorsement is required, so home-educated students can access the full qualification. Demonstrations are built into the lessons.
Psychology
Memory, development, social influence and the brain: a rigorous introduction to the science of human behaviour. Exam-only assessment with no coursework, and a subject most schools struggle to staff.
Geography
Physical and human geography through real-world case studies, fieldwork skills and map work: rivers and coasts, cities and populations, climate and the forces shaping our world.
The same rhythm great teachers use.
Every Latitude lesson follows the evidence: explain clearly, practise together, then practise alone, with a mastery gate before anything new.
Retrieval starter
Five quick questions from previous lessons, because memory is built by coming back, not moving on.
I do
A clear, chunked explanation with worked examples. New ideas are introduced one step at a time.
Check for understanding
A short gate before practice begins. If something hasn’t landed, the lesson re-teaches it differently.
We do
Guided practice with tiered hints. Your child tries first, then reveals exactly as much help as they need.
You do
Independent practice with full working shown. Mastery here unlocks the next lesson.
Summary & next step
Key facts captured, progress recorded, and a preview of what comes next.
Ten life skills courses: the world today, taught properly.
Money, resilience, communication, AI literacy: short optional courses (8–12 lessons each) available at KS3 and KS4, with a completion badge for every course.
Wondering how the exams actually work? Here’s exactly what happens.
All qualifications are available to private candidates
Your child does not need to be registered at a school to sit these exams. IGCSE and GCSE qualifications are fully accessible to home-educated students as private candidates.
We signpost exam centres near you
You book directly with a registered exam centre. We provide guidance on how to find one and what to expect, including costs, registration deadlines, and what your child needs to bring.
Just two exam boards across six subjects
Maths, English Language, English Literature, Combined Science and Geography are all with Pearson Edexcel. Psychology is with AQA. Fewer boards means simpler admin, fewer registration processes, and less to manage.
Business, Sociology and History are on the way.
Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you the moment each new subject opens, and you’ll be first in line for launch.
