What you'll study
The course covers the full breadth of the subject:
- Number
- Algebra
- Ratio and proportion
- Geometry and measures
- Probability and statistics
Students are entered at Foundation tier (grades 1 to 5) or Higher tier (grades 3 to 9) according to the pace that suits them best.
How it's assessed
Assessment is by three papers of 1 hour 30 minutes, each worth 80 marks, with no calculator allowed on Paper 1. The qualification is 100 percent examination with no coursework.
Where it leads
Maths progresses to A Level Mathematics in the Sixth Form, where a grade 6 at Higher tier is typically required. It underpins the STEM subjects, supports study in Science and Engineering, and opens a wide range of academic and vocational routes.
How to choose it
Maths is a core GCSE, so every student takes it; there is no need to select it in the option blocks. To see how the department teaches and supports each student, we warmly invite you to book a visit.
