At Ethos we predominantly follow the Edexcel maths GCSE at either foundation level, where students can gain grades 1 to 5 or higher level, grades 4 to 9.
The course is divided into 5 areas, number, algebra, geometry, data handling and ratio and proportion. The curriculum focuses on acquiring and practicing skills, reasoning and problem solving. There are three assessment papers each 1 1/2 hours long, one of which is non-calculator.
The foundation course equips students with the knowledge and understanding to solve functional problems in everyday life, whereas the higher course develops those skills in more specialist areas, particularly useful in the study of science and engineering.
