Students follow the Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Mathematics course. This is assessed through three equally-weighted, written examination papers at either Foundation tier or Higher tier.

Paper 1 is the only non-calculator paper. Each of the three examination papers at both tiers will be out of 80 marks with a duration of 1 hour 30 minutes. Questions are targeted at grades 5–1 at Foundation tier and at grades 9–4 at Higher tier.

The curriculum will cover:

Number
Algebra
Ratio, Proportion and Rates of Change
Geometry and Measure
Probability and Statistics

This content is delivered through eight hours of lesson time every fortnight, alongside directed private study tasks.
