Key Stage 4 runs across three years to ensure all content is covered in the correct depth required to succeed in GCSE. The mathematics exam board is Edexcel https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/mathematics-2015.html and is split into higher (grades 4-9) and foundation tiers (grades 1-5) it is possible to secure a standard or good pass on either tier. Those who are looking to continue mathematics or science through college will need to follow the higher pathway.
