Mathematics is compulsory. The syllabus covers number, algebra, shape and space and handling data and how this knowledge applies to real life via a functional mathematics element.
All applicants are invited to attend our assessment day, during which they will sit entrance papers in Maths and English, followed by an online assessment and interview with the Principal. As part of the 13+ assessment, candidates will sit a further paper in a subject of their choice. Other scholarships (eg., art, sport, music, drama) will also be taken at this time.
The pupils are entered for either the higher tier or the foundation tier with teachers making a tier recommendation, in the Summer Term of Upper Four after the examinations, to ensure that pupils are then set appropriately in Lower Five. Both tiers are examined in three 1hr 30min papers (two with calculator, one without) at the end of the Upper Five (Year 11) year. Qualifications and type of study: GCSE (9-1): Three final examinations (worth 100%) Paper 1: No calculator Paper 2: Calculator Paper 3: Calculator
