You are telling us that the introduction of the English Baccalaureate into school performance tables has resulted in new decisions being made about the curriculum you now offer your students. The recent publication of the Wolf Review into Vocational Education has also highlighted further the importance of gaining a good grade at GCSE Mathematics or IGCSE Mathematics.
At Edexcel, we have developed our qualifications, resources and support to engage all your students as well as to help support your teaching. In particular, we know you will want to support your C/D borderline students.
We are also developing further our ResultsPlus service which will allow you to track the progress of each individual student’s progress taking an Edexcel EBacc qualification.
