GCSE exams at HTP Apprenticeship CollegeFor Elective Home-Educated Pupils
Providing valuable community education support and convenience to young Islanders
AS PARENTS, we all seek the best educational opportunities for our children. At HTP Apprenticeship College, we understand the unique challenges and aspirations of home-schooled pupils, especially as they approach pivotal moments in their academic journey. That’s why we’re proud to have been the only centre on the Isle of Wight over the last five years offering GCSE examinations specifically for elective home-educated students.
Our commitment to education is more than just providing exams; it’s about supporting each learner’s individual path. We have had the privilege of assisting many home-educated learners in achieving their academic goals. This support means we offer a range of GCSE and IGCSE exams at both foundation and higher levels. These offerings are tailored to meet the core needs of our students, ensuring that young learners have the opportunity to succeed without the added burden of travel to the mainland.
The experienced educators and supportive environment at our Riverbank Campus in Newport provide a seamless transition for home-schooled students, enabling them to confidently take their exams. We believe in creating a nurturing space where students can excel in a community that champions their educational journey.
HTP Apprenticeship College isn’t just about exams; it’s about opening doors to future opportunities and empowering your child to reach their full potential. We’re here to guide, support, and celebrate your child’s educational journey.
If you are the parent of a home-schooled pupil on the Isle of Wight and are looking for a trusted partner to facilitate their GCSE examinations, we invite you to get in touch with us and learn more about how we can support your child’s unique educational path.

“We just want to take this opportunity to highly praise HTP Apprenticeship College. S…. sat all six of her iGCSEs at HTP and we were extremely impressed with the facilities, service and staff. The last year has been incredibly stressful for S…., resulting in her dropping out of mainstream school at such a critical point in her education. All the staff at HTP made the situation so much easier for us and offered brilliant communication, service, empathy, and fabulous exam facilities. It helped to make the experience way less stressful than it could have been and truly helped to foster concentration and focus for S….. during the exams.”
