Maths GCSE
If you miss out on a grade 4 at school, we offer a fast-track resit course, with the option to retake the exams in November. Our excellent pass-rate means your future plans won’t be disrupted: you can gain that qualification early in the year whilst at the same time getting on with your other chosen courses. Job done!
Progression and Opportunities
GCSE Mathematics can be studied alongside a level 3 programme (A levels or BTEC advanced diploma). It is a one-year course, so you can resit the course in your first year of college and free up your time in the second year to focus on your other studies. You will receive 4 hours of teaching time per week.
We all know that GCSE Maths is a required qualification for many jobs and university courses. It gives you the all-important number skills for life – to understand your pay and budget for household bills; to interpret data presented in charts, graphs and tables and perform simple calculations, including the use of algebra.
Entry Requirement
GCSE Mathematics at grade 3.
Method of Assessment
- 100% by examination: two calculator papers and one non-calculator paper
- Two opportunities to sit the exams: November and May/Jun
- If you pass in November, you do not need to complete the year.
