COURSE OVERVIEW

The GCSE Statistics course provides students with essential skills in data analysis, helping them make sense of the world around them. Students will explore a range of topics, including collecting data, analysing and representing data, scatter graphs & correlation, and probability. Through the course, they will gain the ability to process and interpret data, including in real-world situations. This course is ideal for students looking to improve their mathematical outcomes and gain an understanding of statistical concepts that apply across a variety of fields.

 

STYLE OF ASSESSMENT

The course is assessed through two written exams at the end of Year 11, each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes. These exams cover all aspects of the curriculum, and there is no coursework involved.
