KS3
Pupils will follow the statutory requirements as outlined in the specification for Mathematics.
Pupils are tested at the end of this Key Stage and streamed according to their ability.
KS4
The top two classes will sit their full GCSE in Year 11 (AQA examining board) and upon passing will study GCSE Statistics in Year 12.
Other classes will have the opportunity to complete GCSE in Year 12 following either the AQA or CCEA specification.

We offer ‘A’ Level Maths. This is a very demanding subject therefore it is desirable that pupils have studied high level GCSE Mathematics gaining at least a grade B.
