Cape Town has a strong private and international school market. For IGCSE families, the key ranking factors are subject breadth, teacher specialism, and consistent exam-year routines (mocks, past papers, feedback cycles).

What to ask for (IGCSE outcomes + evidence)

• Subject-by-subject outcomes and number of exam entries
• How the school structures Year 10–11 mock exams and revision support
• Support systems (learning support, EAL, wellbeing)
