Core Subjects
Mathematics
Course Content
In Key Stage 3 we follow a programme which embeds and extends core mathematical skills: number, algebra, geometry, and statistics. Our aim is to ensure that our students are achieving skills which are at least age related by the end of Year 8.
Key Stage 4 builds on the skills embedded in Key Stage 3 and uses these as a foundation for GCSE topics. Students will be taught the full GCSE specification following the Edexcel scheme of work.
Assessment
There is no coursework for GCSE mathematics. Assessment at present is solely through three external exam papers each worth 80 marks.
- Paper 1 (non-calculator)
- Paper 2 (calculator allowed)
- Paper 3 (calculators allowed).
Level of entry for the GCSE examinations will be based on students’ performance in summative assessments, professional judgement and Mock GCSE exam results. There are two tiers of entry:
- Foundation Grades 5-1 are awarded
- Higher Grades 9-4 are awarded.
