Level 2 Certificate Further Mathematics (Twilight)

Equivalent to an additional GCSE qualification, this Further Mathematics course builds upon the content of our IGCSE Mathematics programme, developing higher order application of many of the skills learnt.

The course also extends into areas of Mathematics which are not covered during the IGCSE, including:

• Matrices
• The factor theorem
• The equation of a circle
• Trigonometric equations

The course is recommended for anyone who is considering studying Mathematics at A Level. Much of the content that is covered is also taught during the first year of the A Level course, so students who have taken this course will have a distinct advantage in Year 12. It also develops and refines key mathematical skills from the IGCSE course and helps students to understand them in greater depth, improving their chances of achieving the top grade at IGCSE.

Further Mathematics is taught via weekly two-hour Twilight lessons (after school).

Twilight GCSEs

Twilight courses provide students with interests in specific areas the opportunity to further challenge themselves by studying for an extra GCSE. They are an extension to our normal curriculum offer of nine GCSE subjects and are delivered in lessons at the end of the school day from 3.40-5.40pm. 

As with any other GCSE course there will be independent study required, including set homework, and there may also be a non-examination assessment element to complete.

A student can only study for one additional GCSE at a time. A course will only run if there are enough students to make it feasible.
