This is an intensive course which focuses on the development of mathematical skills through various different aspects of Mathematics. The course is specifically designed to meet the needs of the post-16 student aiming for a grade 4 or higher. It is primarily teacher-led, plus at least one hour of independent study to consolidate your learning.

The focus of the course is on key topics that will help students achieve a grade 4 or above. It builds upon the body of knowledge that students start off with but does not attempt to cover the whole specification. There is a clear systematic approach for each lesson. The emphasis is on the following;

Recall the routine facts

Revise the most frequently occurring exam topics

Repeat the revised content to become competent

Ready for exam – using past paper questions

Students are assessed by three examinations in June. Students achieving a high grade 3 will have the opportunity of entering examinations in November.

Any student that has not achieved a Grade 4 (or Higher) must resit Mathematics.

Mathematics GCSE is a highly desirable qualification and is necessary for entry to many careers and courses in Further and Higher Education.
