Course Outline/Overview

Key Stage 3

• Through out the key stage pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of the five stands of mathematics:
• Mathematical processes and applications
• Number
• Algebra
• Geometry and measures
• Statistics
• For the majority of students Key Stage 3 will be condensed to Years 7 and 8, and GCSE studies will begin in year 9.

Key Stage 4

• GCSE Syllabus: Edexcel Mathematics B - Modular (2MB01)
• Specification B is modular – this means that the examinations can be taken during the course, though Unit 3 is usually taken at the end of the course. Students will have the opportunity to re-sit units 1 and 2 before the end of the course if this is needed to improve their grade. No calculators are allowed for Unit 2.
• Unit 1: Statistics and Probability
  One written paper (1 hour 15 minutes) worth 30% of the total GCSE.
• Unit 2: Number, Algebra and Geometry 1
  One written paper (1 hour 15 minutes) worth 30% of the total GCSE.
• Unit 3: Number, Algebra and Geometry 2
  One written paper (1 hour 30 minutes Foundation Tier, 1 hour 45 minutes Higher Tier) worth 40% of the total GCSE.
•  
• Key Stage 5
• A-Level Syllabus: AQA (6360)
• A full A-Level consits of six units, four compulsary units (Pure Core1, Pure Core2, Pure Core3 and Pure Core4) and two optional units.
• Currently we offer two optional units from Statistics 1B, Decision 1 and Mechanics 1B.
• All units are without coursework and are assessed through a written paper (1 hour 30 minutes) worth 75 marks.
