Overview:
GCSE Statistics gives students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in a key component of maths that is relevant to everyday life. They’ll develop a core statistical grounding, as well as transferable skills and understanding that’s applicable to a range of other subjects including sciences and geography. Mathematical fluency is an important and valuable skill that will help in any career.
GCSE Statistics enriches and extends the statistics topics taught as part of GCSE Mathematics and topics taught are an integral part of A level Maths
