Mathematics

Board: Edexcel IGCSE

Examination: 100%

All pupils will take the IGCSE Edexcel Mathematics qualification. There is no coursework or controlled assessment component. It is a purely linear course, assessed by terminal examination.

There are two examinations to be taken. Both are two hours in length, and both are calculator papers. Pupils will be examined on number, algebra, ratio, geometry, probability and statistics. Each paper is equally weighted with a range of topics examined. Pupils will sit either the Higher or Foundation tier.

Pupils will be awarded with grades 1-9 with 9 being the top grade available. All pupils will need to secure a grade 4 or above.

Pupils in the A set will take the GCSE examination in the January of the Fifth Form. They will then embark on the GCSE Further Mathematics course and sit the examination in the Summer Term.
