### **Key Stage 4**
| Course Title | Exam Board | Assessment Components & Method (Exam/NEA %) | When is the Component Assessed? (e.g. Summer GCSE) |
|---|---|---|---|
| GCSE Mathematics (Higher & Foundation Tiers) | Pearson Edexcel | Three written examination papers (100% Examination) Paper 1: Non-Calculator (33.3%) Paper 2: Calculator (33.3%) Paper 3: Calculator (33.3%) - Linear qualification assessed through three externally examined papers. | Summer GCSE (Year 11) |
| GCSE Statistics | Pearson Edexcel | Two written examination papers (100% Examination) • Paper 1 (Calculator) – 1 hr 30 mins, 80 marks (50%) • Paper 2 (Calculator) – 1 hr 30 mins, 80 marks (50%) | Summer GCSE (Year 11) |
| GCSE Further Mathematics | AQA | Two written examination papers (100% Examination) • Paper 1 (Non-Calculator) – 1 hr 45 mins, 80 marks (50%) • Paper 2 (Calculator) – 1 hr 45 mins, 80 marks (50%) | Summer GCSE (Year 11) |
| Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics (Entry Level 1 & Entry Level 2) | Pearson Edexcel | Internally assessed qualification (100% Teacher Assessment). Students complete a range of classroom-based assessment tasks that demonstrate mathematical knowledge and skills. This qualification is offered to students who are unable to fully access the GCSE Mathematics curriculum and are at risk of not achieving a GCSE grade, providing an appropriate and recognised qualification while continuing to develop core mathematical skills. | Assessment takes place in yr 11, from Jan to April. Assessment is moderated by PRS in May and the coursework is then handed over to the exam office. |
### **Accessibility & Inclusion**
- Lessons are sequenced using the White Rose Maths scheme at KS3 and the Pearson Edexcel GCSE curriculum at KS4.
- Teachers use adaptive teaching strategies including modelling (I do, We do, You do), scaffolding, retrieval practice, manipulatives and visual representations, vocabulary support, targeted questioning, live feedback, and regular formative assessment.
- Students receive appropriate challenge and support through Higher and Foundation pathways, intervention programmes during form time, and reasonable adjustments in line with SEND, EAL and examination access arrangements.
- Use of diagnostic questioning to address misconceptions
### **Home learning (frequency and expectations)**
You can expect weekly homework which will take a range of forms including online assignments and paper booklets to complete. These must always be done to the best of your ability; sub-standard work will not be accepted.
### **Additional information**
GCSE Maths has a Foundation tier (grades 1-5) and a Higher tier (grades 4-9). Students must take three question papers at the same tier. There will be two calculator papers and one non-calculator paper. All papers will include a mix of question styles, from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems. The mathematical demand increases as a student progresses through the paper. For all question papers, students are expected to have mathematical instruments available for use in the exam. These instruments are defined as: pencil (for use in diagrams only), ruler, pair of compasses, protractor. A calculator is required for use in two out of the three papers. It is essential for any student to have a scientific calculator which they are familiar with in lessons and in the exams.
