About this course

Free GCSE Maths in Liverpool. Classes run at The City of Liverpool College Clarence Street, part-time during the day.

The course covers Number, Algebra, Ratio and Proportion, Geometry and Measures, Probability, and Statistics. It runs over one year and uses a mastery approach to build fluency, problem-solving, and reasoning. Three written exams at the end of the year assess all topics equally.

Who this course is for

This is a one year resit course covering the two year GCSE maths syllabus, mainly aimed at foundation tier but with some opportunity for higher. It offers you a comprehensive introduction to Maths as well as providing the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification. Delivery takes an innovative mastery approach to build students' confidence, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning in readiness for GCSE and beyond. The qualification consists of three equally weighted written examination papers which are assessed at the end of the year. The assessments cover all key aspects of mathematics at level 2: Number, Algebra, Ratio and proportion, Geometry and measures, Probability and Statistics. If you are 16-18 and have not yet achieved a grade 4 then this course is compulsory. There are various possible combinations in which you can study for this qualification. If you come to college to take a GCSE resit program, then this will be one you will choose to make up a full time program of study. If you come to college for a vocational course this GCSE will be run alongside. For 19+ learners there is an option to study this as an evening class or as part of a Pre- Access or Access program (subject to suitability assessment).

Entry requirements

All students aged 16-18 without English and Maths at grade 4 will be required to work towards these qualifications while on their course. 19+ learners will need to sit a suitability assessment to find the right course and level. If you are unsure of the entry requirements, or if you don't meet the criteria, please contact our Careers Advice and Guidance team who will be happy to help you find the best option for you.
