Core Maths’ is a term that refers to a type of level 3 maths qualification for students in post-16 education that can be taken alongside A levels or other qualifications, including vocational courses. It has been developed with support from employers and higher education, and is designed to consolidate and build on mathematical understanding; foster the ability to think mathematically and apply mathematical techniques in unfamiliar situations with confidence; support students’ learning in other subject areas they are studying and prepare students for the range of real-life mathematical demands of further study and employment. Core Maths is for students who have passed GCSE mathematics at grade 4 or above but who have not chosen to study AS or A-level Mathematics. Around 250,000 students each year who pass GCSE Mathematics do not study maths at a higher level. Core Maths is designed for these students. It supports mathematical aspects of academic and vocational study programs and can help apprentices who have achieved GCSE Mathematics at grade 4 or above to further develop their mathematical competence and confidence.
Minimum of 5 x 9 - 4 at GCSE and average grade of Grade 4 or above across all subjects. GCSE grade 4 or above in Maths in Higher or Foundation Paper.
Summative Assessment • Three summative assessment points per year – 1 per term. • Each summative assessment will be standardized across the subject. • Summative assessments will be moderated within and across departments. • Summative assessment will test students’ progress through the curriculum and identify any knowledge gaps.
