This means from 2009 students will qualify with a certificate in functional maths. As well from 2008 the majority of students will be able to take a new GCSE called Additional Maths.
Student Information: We now follow a 2 year KS3 course. This means students will sit their KS3 SATs exam at the end of Year 8. At KS4 students will follow a modular course in Mathematics. This is taken during Years 9, 10 and 11.
