GCSE Statistics
GCSE Statistics is offered as part of the core syllabus for our top set mathematicians but also as an option for other students in Years 10 and 11. The course is a good basis for students moving into a number of career areas which are strongly based on statistics (e.g. finance, sociology).
In addition to providing this insight, there is much in common between the GCSE Statistics and the data handling element of GCSE Mathematics. The course can therefore have the side effect of improving candidates grades at GCSE Maths.
In 2011, every student entered for GCSE Statistics gained grade C or above. A fantastic 78% achieved an A or A*.
