Which board or course do we follow?
For Years 7 to 9 we have our own special Tiffin scheme of work, specially designed by the Maths Department at Tiffin to be interesting and engaging whilst also covering or exceeding all the requirements of the national curriculum.
For Years 10 and 11 we ensure that we cover all topics for the external exams. All our Year 11s take the Edexcel Maths Higher GCSE (9-1). In addition a number of Year 11 students also take the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths. All external exams are taken in the summer of Year 11.
The main topics that are covered each year from Year 7 to 11 are shown below. In addition, if you are a member of the Tiffin community you will be able to click on the link below to see the detailed plan of work with learning objectives, intended time to be spent of the topic alongside key examples. The scheme of work has also been set up for students on DrFrostMaths.com
