Autumn 2 

During this term students will cover the GCSE Higher Tier content on Circle Theorems, Iteration and Advanced Quadratics. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework. 

Spring 1 

During this term students will complete their GCSE course by studying Algebraic Fractions, Sketching Graphs, Transforming Functions, Gradients and Area under a Curve, Vectors and the Sine and Cosine Rules. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test. 

Spring 2 

During the Spring Term students will revise the GCSE Higher Tier content using past paper questions. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework. 

Past Papers
