“I’ve found I have understood topics much better going over them again in the Sixth Form.”

- Sixth Form pupil If you did not get a grade 4 (C) or higher at GCSE Mathematics you will have the opportunity to retake your GCSE in the Lower Sixth. You will revise topics covered during your GCSE Mathematics course in preparation for a resit examination in the summer term of your first year of Sixth Form.

How is the course structured and graded? This is a linear GCSE course with a final examination consisting of one non-calculator and two calculator papers. GCSE Mathematics may be sat at either Foundation level (grades 1 to 5) or Higher level (grades 4 to 9). Resit pupil’s are usually entered into the Foundation level.

Will this course be suitable for me? If you have not already achieved a GCSE pass in Mathematics at grade 4 (C) you will be advised to take this course as a pass in Mathematics is often a requirement for future study, training and employment opportunities.

What could this course lead to? You should find that a GCSE pass at grade 4 or better in Mathematics does make it easier to gain access to other courses or training and employment opportunities that you may wish to pursue at a later date.
