Mathematics
Why study Mathematics?
In this subject you are able to use and develop further the skills of numeracy, problem solving, ICT and other topics you have learnt at key stage 3. Through this course you will gain an understanding of the part that mathematics plays in everyday life. It will also assist you with other subjects such as science and technology.
How is GCSE Modular Mathematics assessed?
The Modular approach will allow you to receive regular feedback from the Examiner and enables you to set targets to improve on your results. The module examinations are taken on two occasions in year 11 and once in year 12.
What next?
A grade ‘C’ pass in Mathematics forms the basic requirement for employment in a wide range of occupations. Pupils who enter Further Education courses without a Grade ‘C’ pass may be expected to re-take the examination.
Each module consists of two papers, one with a calculator and one without a calculator.
There are two tiers of assessment for each module:
