The IGCSE syllabus involves Geometry, Algebra, Number, Shape and Space and Data Handling and is assessed by two written papers in the summer term of O-block. Calculating aids are permitted in both examinations, each of which is two hours long.
It is likely that all pupils will study for the Higher Tier, thereby enabling them to achieve any grade up to and including A*. Pupils in the top set follow an accelerated course, and sit the IGCSE exam at the end of A Block; they then follow a further, more advanced Mathematics course in O Block.
