Who this course is for

This course is essential for students who achieved below a grade C in their Maths GCSE. Students are expected to spend 2 hours in class and 3 hours outside of class studying the areas of Mathematics that will support them gain at least a C grade in the GCSE examination. The focus is on revision and exam style questions. This course covers the same material as the GCSE mathematics course studied in years 9, 10 and 11 and is condensed to fit into two-and-a-half terms.
