At Collingham our students study for the Edexcel GCSE in mathematics.
The course (with re-sit option) takes either one or two years. Students are entered for either the Foundation or Higher tier examinations. In both cases, assessment is by three equally-weighted examination papers, each of duration 1.5 hours (a calculator may be used for papers 2 and 3, but not for paper 1). The maximum grade obtainable at the foundation level is 5, whereas the maximum at the higher level is 9.
Students are allowed to sit IGCSE maths if required.
