mathematics at EPCHS

Curriculum

What we teach flows from the National Numeracy Strategy Medium Term Plans into the year 10

scheme.

At key stage 4 we teach learners toward Edexcel GCSE at Foundation and Higher tiers.

This prepares learners for Sixth-form study of a range of courses including A-level maths and further

maths specifications.

SettingIn years 10 and 11, we have five sets

in each half of the year, with an average class size of 18 or so.

Pupils can still move up and down between sets at the end of term depending on what’s best for them.

The top 3 sets of 5 will work toward Higher tier. The bottom set of 5 work toward Foundation tier.

With set 4, the teacher will listen to the views of parents and pupils and

then in consultation with the subject leader make their best decision on entry.

In school, we are available to help pupils after school

every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Wednesdays are particularly for GCSE.
