Following the AQA Linear GCSE, students either study the foundation or higher course; there is no coursework element at either tier of entry. In the new specification, the foundation tier will cover grades 1-5 and the higher tier will cover grades 4-9 (a grade 4 equates to a previous grade C). Due to the increases in content, students will be required to sit 3 (rather than previously 2) assessments at the end of year 11. Students wishing to study Maths at Advanced Level must have completed the Higher Tier course and have achieved a grade 6 or higher overall. For our most able mathematicians we offer an additional level 2 qualification (Further Maths, AQA) which is delivered alongside the standard GCSE qualification. The exams for this qualification will also be taken in the Summer of Year 11.
