Statistics

About

Statistics GCSE is an exciting option subject for The Henry Beaufort School. Through the course, students will have the opportunity to deepen their mathematical understanding of the world through the context of everyday life. They will learn how to plan investigations, evaluate, process and interpret data whilst building skills that will not only support their maths GCSE, but be transferable to other GCSE subjects, such as science and geography.

For students currently choosing their options, the Statistics course is an exciting opportunity for those who are already highly adept at thinking mathematically and want to further expand and deepen their mathematical fluency. Your maths teacher will make you aware if this course is suitable for you.
