Sep 5, 2026

This document outlines the topic lists for Year 10 Foundation Mathematics Paper 1 and Paper 2. Mathematics is assessed over three papers, each 1 hour and 30 minutes long. Students will be entered for either the higher or foundation tier based on their performance by the end of Year 10. Achieving a grade 5 by the end of Year 10 is necessary to guarantee the chance to sit the higher tier. To qualify for Further Maths, students need a grade 7 by the end of Year 10. The foundation paper allows students to achieve up to a grade 5, while the higher paper enables attainment up to grade 9, awarded to the top 4% of students annually. Revision resources include Revision Guides available on the College website, Sparx Maths (requiring specific codes provided before exams), Maths Genie for practicing Edexcel GCSE papers and topic-specific practice, and Corbett Maths offering questions, answers, and videos, along with daily practice. Essential equipment for the exam includes a protractor, compasses, a recommended scientific calculator (Casio Classwiz FX-GTCW or FX-99), pencil, ruler, eraser, and pencil sharpener. The Autumn Mock Topic List is available for download, with QR codes provided for direct access to topic guides for all four papers, including a video guide for using Sparx Codes for both Foundation and Higher papers.
