Why offer Core Maths?
Core Maths offers multiple benefits to your students. Ideally, all 16-19-year-olds with GCSE Mathematics in grade 4 or above should have the opportunity to study math beyond GCSE.
As Core Maths is becoming an increasingly popular and widely recognised qualification, more students would like to have the opportunity to take it. By offering the subject, it can help your school/college retain and attract more students.
