Mathematics
What will your child study?
In Year 9 we study quadratic functions, polygons, angle properties of circles, further trigonometry and probability.
In Year 10, the top two sets go on to take the IGCSE at the end of the year, which includes studying set theory, functions, calculus, vectors, indices, sine and cosine rules and aspects of statistics. Those classes who are not taking the IGCSE a year early, study set theory, functions, statistics, further algebra and angle and tangent properties of circles.
In Year 11, those who have taken IGCSE at the end of Year 10, go on to study for an Additional Mathematics qualification. This is a freestanding qualification covering topics such as calculus, polynomials, further trigonometry and linear programming. The remaining classes in Year 11 complete the IGCSE programme, covering topics such as calculus, further algebra, direct and inverse proportion, further trigonometry, vectors and similar figures.
IGCSE
We follow the Edexcel IGCSE Specification A (syllabus code 4MA0) and we have been successfully teaching this syllabus since September 2004.
How will they be assessed?
Pupils are assessed both through marked homework and common tests, which are usually set every term.
