Assessment by two external examinations, one in late May and the other early June.
The examination board is WJEC. There are 2 types of GCSE: Mathematics and Mathematics-Numeracy. We usually sit the Mathematics paper.
RESIT Class for November examinations: Wednesday 5 – 8 pm. The November resit class is a short course of approximately 7 or 8 weeks, and is primarily aimed at those who completed a GCSE Maths course the previous year and achieved a Grade D in the summer examination.
