About this course

Free GCSE Maths course in Merton. Classes run at Raynes Park High School, full-time during the day.

You'll work through the full Pearson Edexcel specification over one year. The course is for students who did not achieve a Grade 4 or above in GCSE Maths at the end of Year 11.

You'll finish with a GCSE in Mathematics.

Who this course is for

Retake GCSE Mathematics is a compulsory subject for any students who did not achieve a Grade 4 or above at the end of Year 11. Students will continue to study Retake Mathematics until they achieve a Grade 4. If students did also not achieve a Grade 4 in English Language, they will also need to retake this alongside a full programme of Level 2 subjects and will not be able to study any subjects at Level 3. If students have passed English Language, it might be possible for them to study some Level 3 courses alongside their Retake Mathematics. All students will be looked at individually to make the decision that is best for them in the long term.
