G.C.S.E
We aim to provide equality of opportunity based on each student’s individual need. We offer students a wide ranging and balanced mathematical experience focused on the four attainment strands of the National Curriculum but based on the mathematics required for success in everyday life.
In mathematics all students complete the Adult numeracy course which, when combined with Adult literacy from English becomes ALAN and is the equivalent of a GCSE.
GCSE Course
Students will study topics from Number, Algebra, Shape, Space and Data handling. They will have a final examination made up of a calculator paper, a non-calculator paper and a timed task. The timed task replaces the traditional coursework element, but is still based on an investigation.
