Mathematics

“If Allah wants to do good to a person, he makes him comprehend the religion...” [Sahih Bukhari 1/67]

Mathematics is very successful and integral part of Islamia Girls' School, as it is used every day in every way. Students have excelled in the subject and continue to show progress year in, year out.

Course Structure 

• Year 7: KS3 Mathematics is reduced to two years and will start in year 7.
• Year 8: We finish KS3 in year 8.
• Year 9: Start GCSE Mathematics with a further option of starting a GCSE in Statistics.
• Year 10/11: Complete the two year course in Mathematics and if the GCSE Statistics option was chosen than also complete the GCSE in Statistics. Students follow the Edexcel Linear Mathematics syllabus, which is completely exam based and aim to sit their exam early at the end of year 11 all entries up to date have been for the higher tier.
