Moving to the new 9-1 grading system can be confusing; in Maths we use Pearson/Edexcel as our exam board. For more information from the exam board about the new grades see the video below.
Our Key Stage 4 maths scheme of learning follows the Edexcel GCSE (9-1) mathematics course which is an inherent progression from Key Stage 3. The scheme of learning is built around a unique pedagogy that’s been created by leading mathematics educational researchers and Key Stage 3 teachers. The scheme of learning uses a mastery approach which allows students to reach their full potential. The innovative learning structure is designed to nurture confidence and raises achievement by challenging students who master the topic and offering extra support for those who need it.
